Despite the estimates, Israel is worried that the Corona effect and the clashes with the Palestinians this week will widen the events tomorrow in Ramallah and Judea and Samaria

This year, Nakba Day events are also expected to be held relatively quietly against the backdrop of the Corona epidemic, social remoteness and fear of the outbreak. This is how security sources in Israel are estimated. However, the Palestinian police and the Palestinian security forces are being deployed with increased forces and widespread deployment at the seams to prevent clashes between Palestinian protesters and IDF forces.

Nakba Day riots

The Palestinian Authority will hold a small rally tomorrow in Muqata in Ramallah. PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is expected to deliver a speech, while at the same time rallies and state memorial services will be held in localities and cities throughout the West Bank as well as the Gaza Strip.

The official protest in the West Bank is expected to consist of only 72 seconds to mark the mourning of 72 years, readings in mosques at the Nakba Day, the blossoming of Palestinian flag balloons and the hanging of black mourning flags. Were it not for the events of the past week, including the tragic death of Chief Sergeant Amit Ben Yigal and the death of a Palestinian teenager in Hebron - it could be reasonably estimated that the Palestinian Nakba Day to be announced tomorrow - would be one of the quietest, if not the quietest, to this day. 

Usually, the Nakba Day - which marks the Holocaust of the Palestinians, in their eyes, on the day the state came into being - is a day of calamity in both Gaza and the West Bank, accompanied by a riot, mass parades, order violations and sometimes rocket launches. This year, it will be noted on Friday the week that the deadline for disaster. Not only this, it is also the third Friday of Ramadan, which is also known to be very complex in terms of the enthusiasm of religious passions.
