"Palestinian Flag Day" and a call for the masses to arrive in Jerusalem: PA and Hamas continue to stir up territory ahead of the march in the capital | Israel today

Following the decision to move the flag parade at the Nablus Gate: The Palestinians are calling for tomorrow to hold what is known as "Palestinian Flag Day."

This refers to protest marches that will begin in the centers of Palestinian cities and during which participants will wave the Palestinian flag.

In Hamas, they called for a general mobilization today and asked the Arab public to flock to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and increase its presence tomorrow.

"The Palestinian flag must be hoisted everywhere to emphasize the Arab identity of Jerusalem," the statement said.

A senior Hamas official abroad, Khaled Mashaal, also called on members of the Arab and Islamic nations to take to the streets to support al-Aqsa. "Let us take part in the campaign to liberate Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

The enemy understands only the language of power.

When the enemy threatened us in Gaza, he was forced to retreat.

We will not allow Israel to take over al-Aqsa, "Mashaal said.

In Ramallah, they warn that the tension that accompanies the parade of flags could spill over into the territories and increase the escalation in the centers of friction.

A Palestinian source who spoke with "Israel Today" noted that the events that would develop around the parade would not necessarily remain within Jerusalem and warned: "There could be a spark that would also extend to us, to the West Bank. "Yes, he was killed in Nablus, all of which causes unrest."

Mediation efforts between Israel and organizations in Gaza continued over the weekend in an attempt to prevent an escalation, amid Israel's refusal to change the outline of the march at the request of Qatar and Egypt.

Muhammad Sanwar, a senior commander in the military wing of Hamas and the brother of Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sanwar, said in a televised speech on Friday evening: "When we warn of the occupation, every word has a backing on the ground.

According to him, his words are a direct message from Yahya Sanwar himself and his associate, Muhammad Diff, the chief of staff of Hamas.

In some of the statements by Hamas members, it was stated that "the entry of the parade into al-Aqsa will be an explosive to the explosion of the situation."

In recent official Hamas official statements, less emphasis has been placed on threats, and more on the call for action.

The organization called on the masses to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque and increase its presence in and around it starting tomorrow morning.

Senior Hamas figures abroad, Khaled Mash'al and Hussein Badran, called on the Palestinian public to take to the streets to defend al-Aqsa.
