Preparations
continue in the Gaza Strip for a mass march to Israel’s border (the “great
return march”). To that end the Palestinian organizations operating in the Gaza
Strip have organized a “national committee” which in turn appointed
professional committees to promote events in the internal Palestinian and
international arenas. The organizers’ objective is to extend the scope
of the events beyond the Gaza Strip and to promote marches not only in
Gaza Strip but in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. According to the
organizers, they are currently coordinating with Palestinians abroad
and with Israeli Arabs. One of the activists involved in media preparations
is Zaher Birawi, a Palestinian activist based in Britain who is
affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and who in the past
played a central role in organizing convoys and flotillas to the Gaza Strip.
Timing of the events
·
According to the plan currently
being formulated, there will be a series of ongoing events which will
take place over the course of six weeks, between March 30 (Land
Day) and May 15 (Nakba Day). The plan includes the erection, on Land Day,
of a tent camp (or camps) near the security fence on the Israeli
border, where thousands of Palestinian families will stay. The campaign
will peak with a march of thousands of Palestinians to the Israeli border,
probably on Nakba Day (no time table is not final).
