Occupied Jerusalem-Sana
The Palestine Liberation Front affirmed that the Palestinian people will remain rooted in their lands, sticking to their identity, continuing the struggle and resistance until the Israeli occupation is defeated, the restoration of their full national rights to return, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Ma'an news agency quoted the front as saying in a statement today on the occasion of the 44th anniversary of Earth Day that the Palestinian people commemorates the immortal Earth Day on the thirtieth of March of each year in the homeland and in all its places to emphasize the adherence to the land and identity and renew the covenant of loyalty to the martyrs who rose in defense of the land Palestine in the face of occupation.
The Front clarified that the Palestinian issue is passing through its most difficult stages, as the Palestinians face the danger of an outbreak of the Corona epidemic, in addition to confronting the practices of the occupation authorities and racist settlers, escalating their attacks on the Palestinians, seizing lands, expanding settlement operations, and launching daily detention campaigns with the absolute support of the American administration in light of the silence of the international community and the preoccupation of the international community. The world is fighting the Corona outbreak.
Earth Day events date back to the thirtieth of March of 1976, when the demonstrations spread across the various Palestinian cities and villages in protest against the occupation authorities' seizure of 21,000 dunums of the Galilee city in the occupied Palestinian territories in 1948 and were suppressed by the occupation forces with live bullets, which led to the martyrdom of a number of Palestinians and injured and arrested hundreds .
