Supporters of the Twin-city agreement are expected to attend the meeting. "We must show the council and residents of Bournemouth that we stand proudly with Israel," they said. “This is our opportunity to show solidarity with Israel and Netanya and to demonstrate the strength of the local Israel-supporting silent majority,” they said.
