“Palestinians mark the occasion this year with great hope of bringing to an end the Zionist project in Palestine,” Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister of the Hamas government in Gaza, told about 10,000 people at a Gaza City mosque.
Marches commemorating the 1948 catastrophic events, known in Arabic as Nakba (catastrophe), were also planned in the West Bank and in Palestinian towns in the occupied territories.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced by Zionist gangs to leave their homes out during the fighting more than six decades ago. Now , thousands of Palestinian refugees are living in a very miserable conditions inside and outside of the occupied land of Palestine, thousands of Palestinian families were fled outside Palestine to some Arab countries, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and in many other countries around the world.
Israeli occupation government denied the Palestinian right of return which is considered as a holy right “constant” by the Palestinians.
Haniyeh launched the Nakba Day events with a dawn sermon at Gaza City’s al-Omari Mosque.
“Palestinians have the right to resist Israeli occupation and will one day return to property they lost in 1948,” Haniyeh told worshipers. “To achieve our goals in the liberation of our occupied land, we should have one leadership,” he added, praising the recent unity deal.
Haniyeh reiterated Sunday that his movement would not recognize “Israel” at the outset.
