Palestinians and Arabs marked today the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, which coincides with the passage of the unjust United Nations Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947, which partitioned Palestine into an Arab and Jewish states.
Rallies and marches were held in several Palestinian cities and at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo.
In Ramallah, hundreds of Palestinians participated in the march, calling on the United Nations to assume its responsibilities, play its role, and implement its decisions related to Palestine.
Participants in the march, called for by the national forces, federations and unions, walked the streets of Ramallah chanting slogans denouncing the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, and its ongoing massacres against the people of the Gaza Strip.
They called for national unity to confront the crimes of the Israeli occupation and stressed the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state while calling on the international
community to intervene urgently to stop the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and immediately stop its war of genocide and crimes.
In Hebron in the south of the West Bank, participants in the rally also demanded an end to Israel’s war of genocide waged against the Gaza Strip, stressing their rejection of displacement and expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland, and calling for the release of the Palestinian detainees held in the Israeli prisons.
