Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa vowed today that the Palestinian would foil ongoing attempts aimed at expelling them from their land.
Commenting on the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, Prime Minister Mustafa stated that the thanks to their awareness and attachment to their homeland, the Palestinian people would strike down all ongoing attempts aimed at expelling them from their land, including the schemes aimed at the forced expulsion of Palestinians from the blockaded Gaza Strip following eight months of a systematic destruction and genocidal offensive, that resulted in the killing of 35,173 Palestinians and injuring 79,061 others.
He stressed that escalating Israeli army and colonist attacks against the Palestinian people in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, would not force them to surrender and that the Palestinian people along with its leadership would withstand all Israeli threats as had been the case for the previous decades.
He hailed the commemoration of the Nakba Day, the rising support for the Palestinian Question and pro-Palestine protests worldwide as an indication that the Palestinian people’s national rights are inalienable and imprescriptible, and expose the Israeli occupation and settler-colonialism’s narrative and bring the Palestinian people to the establishment of their independent state, with Jerusalem as its capital.
Observed by Palestinians each year on 15 May, Nakba Day commemorates the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948, when 800,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled from their homes during the assault by the British-backed Zionist colonial militias that established Israel.
The 76th anniversary of the Nakba is commemorated as Israel is still waging its genocidal war against the Gaza Strip since October 7.
Moreover, at least 7,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
