A one million-person march is slated to be held across the blockaded Gaza Strip on Friday to protest U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
According to the National and Islamic Factions’ Follow-Up Committee mass-demos will be held simultaneously in all Gaza provinces from Rafah to Beit Hanun.
The committee called on the Palestinians to join the march right after Friday’s noon prayers at around 12:30 a.m. and to raise the Palestinian flag in protest at Trump’s racist move which it said contravenes international law and resolutions.
The march comes as part of underway protest moves staged across the occupied Palestinian territories and overseas to speak out against Trump’s Wednesday recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel overturning the U.S.-brokered peace process and signaling a green light for altering the long-held status quo in the city—home to Muslims’ third holiest site al-Aqsa Mosque.
