Arabs prepare for rallies towards the borders with occupied Palestinian on Nakba Day, Gaza rally spokesperson assures that any Israeli escalation would lead to a revolt

15 May is a day that reveals the deep gap in the region, and sums up the Arab-Israeli conflict.
 

63 years have passed on the Palestinian’s Nakba day (catastrophe), and in its commemoration, the Israeli President Shimon Perez comes out to illustrate Israel as “the democratic state where all citizens are treated equally, without regard for religion or nationality”.

As the Zionist entity has been preparing for its “Independence Day” celebrations, the Palestinians and Arabs have been planning mass rallies to their land that they are prohibited from crossing into.

Rallies from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and from inside the Palestinian territories will take off Sunday towards the borders with occupied Palestine to enclose the Zionist entity.

The Gaza rally spokesperson Dr. Issam Odwan assured that the latest regional developments, specifically in Egypt and Tunisia served this project in Gaza, referring to the fall of the Israeli allies, Egypt’s Hosni Moubarak and Tunisia’s Zein Al Abidin bin Ali.

In an interview with Al Manar website, Dr. Odwan praised the calls for rallies in Egypt towards Rafah border crossing, assuring that they were a great encouragement to the people in Gaza.

“Two marches were organized, the first takes off from south Gaza to receive the Egyptian march, and the second is Northern the strip at Beit Hanoun border crossing that separates between Gaza and the occupied territories,” he clarified.

The Israeli occupation took precautious military and security measures ahead of the protests; however, according to Israeli media, it warned its soldiers against firing live bullets that could cause casualties among Palestinians, which would serve in escalating the situation.

For his part, Dr. Odwan considered that “the Zionist entity is following the events with concern and fear, as it does not quit its threats against rally participants coming near the barbed wire”.

He emphasized that “we are not planning a suicide attack, and we don’t want to endanger people’s lives. The rally is set to take place one kilometer away from the wire, and it aims at sending a political message that stresses the Palestinian rights and disturbs the Zionist entity”.

“The Israeli enemy thinks twice before making any violent move against the participants because it is aware that any escalation would turn the rally into a revolt… the Israeli enemy will preserve calm on the borders with Gaza”, the Gaza rally spokesman assured.
