About Gulf CAN
The Gulf Coalition Against Normalisation (Gulf CAN) is the united front of the people of the Arab Gulf that coordinates action against the Zionist project in the region. It was founded in 2019 in response to the increasing normalisation between some Gulf states and the Zionest entity.

The coalition is composed of numerous regional organisations and working groups across the Gulf, including: BDS Kuwait, Bahrain Society Against Normalisation with the Zionist Entity, Qatar Youth Opposed Normalisation (QAYON), Youth for Quds (the Gulf Committee), amongst others.
