Gaza: Preparations for mega March of Return to mark first anniversary

The Higher National Commission for the March of Return and Breaking the Siege has announced preparations to organize a mega march on the first anniversary of the March of Return and on the Land Day, March 30.

In a news conference held in Gaza, head of the Commission Khaled al-Batsh said that this event would be a hundred percent peaceful and would take place in the five border camps of the March of Return.

Batsh described the March of Return as the voice of the Palestinian people in all areas of their presence, affirming that the rallies on the border would continue until all goals were achieved.

He also called for staging a general strike in all provinces of Palestine on the same day of the anniversary, urging the Palestinians in the West Bank to start organizing marches to all flashpoint areas to confront the dangers threatening their lives as a result of Israeli barriers and settlements.
