Palestinian Resistance Says Finger on Trigger ahead of Planned Zionist March in Al-Quds

Palestinian Resistance factions in Gaza convened on Tuesday and decided to raise their readiness level for the coming days.

“It was emphasized at our meeting that we must continue to be prepared and to raise the national readiness,” a Hamas spokesperson said. “Our finger is on the trigger.”

The spokesman warned against a planned march by right-wing Zionist settlers in occupied Al-Quds, saying the move is highly provocative.

On Tuesday, Israeli occupation police rejected the plan to stage the march, called by Zionists “Flag March” in Al-Quds Old City, but were reportedly continuing negotiations with the organizers late into the night to try to reach a compromise.

Occupation Police reportedly vetoed the route the organizers wanted for the march, and asked they do the march on a different day, but it appeared that the organizers would likely go ahead with an event on Wednesday, Times of Israel reported.

Zionist settlers hold the march in May for Jerusalem Day, which marks the so-called reunification of the city after Israeli occupation forces occupied East Jerusalem, including the Old City and its holy sites, from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War.

Also on Wednesday, thousands of Jews are expected to pray at Al-Buraq Wall (known by Zionists as the Western Wall) for the semi-annual priestly ceremony.
