Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative Mustafa al-Barghouti on Sunday called for a popular intifada in all Palestinian territories next week to mark the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba.
Al-Barghouti in press statements described the US administration’s plan to move its embassy to Jerusalem on the anniversary of the 1948 Nakba as a “disgraceful act”.
He added that the US administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is a participation in a grave violation of international law and a war crime that involves the annexation of an occupied territory by force.
He stressed that it is no possible for the Palestinians to let the US-Israeli scheme pass without confrontation calling on the Palestinian Authority to act on the diplomatic level to stop this conspiracy.
