Hamas: Return March put Palestinians in stronger position

Head of Hamas Movement abroad Maher Salah on Friday said that the wide popular participation in the Great March of Return indicates that Palestinians are in a stronger position than the Israeli occupation.

Salah in a press statement hailed the Palestinians who took part in the Great March of Return on Friday especially in the Gaza Strip and expressed his sincere condolences to the martyrs’ families.

He added that the Great March of Return sends an important message that the Palestinian people will remain united in the face of the Israeli occupation and all forms of normalization.

At least 15 Palestinians were killed and over 1,500 injured by Israeli gunfire during protests marking the 42nd anniversary of Land Day in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

Thousands of Palestinians rallied for their right of return along Gaza’s eastern border with the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories in a major demonstration called the Great March of Return.
