OCCUPIED AL-QUDS May 14. 2023 (Saba) - Thousands of Palestinians inside the 1948 occupied territories participated on Tuesday in a mass march that headed to the lands of the displaced villages of Hosha and Ksair on the 76th anniversary of Nakba.
The Palestinian Media Center reported that participants marched carrying Palestinian flags while chanting slogans calling for an end to the Zionist genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
They demanded the right of return for Palestinians to their homeland, and raised banners with the names of the displaced Palestinian villages and pictures of the martyred prisoner Walid Daqqa, from the western city of Baqa, in a call to free his body to be buried in the Palestinian soil.
The march started from the eastern entrance of Shafa Amr "next to al-Bir Park", where the participants expressed their solidarity with Gaza.
Mohammed Kayyal, a member of the Committee for the Defense of Displaced Persons' Rights, said in press statements "We see here slogans demanding the right of return of the Palestinian people to their villages and cities, and other slogans demanding an end to the war, ethnic cleansing and genocide of the people of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and elsewhere.
Kayyal added "What characterizes the march this year is the presence of the brutal war on the Palestinian people, and the Palestinian flag that is raised here is the flag of all the Palestinian Arab masses in the interior, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the Diaspora, and we demand an end to these massacres that are carried out with Western complicity and Arab silence."
With the 76th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba in 1948, which falls tomorrow, Wednesday, May 15, Palestinian bodies and movements, along with a number of Palestinians displaced from their villages and those who remained in the occupied territories in 1948, organized marches and events in displaced Palestinian towns in conjunction with the return march.
A number of the people of the displaced villages in the territories occupied in 1948 visited their villages from which they were displaced in the year of Nakba in 1948, and they organized national events, affirming their adherence to their rights and their land.
