Israeli army prepares for Nakba Day
Israel's army is "preparing to face the possibility of a third Palestinian intifada outbreak" Israeli military official Galey Zahal told the country's Army Radio on Wednesday morning. He cited Facebook groups calling for a popular uprising on May 15, when Palestinians commemorate the Nakba, the period of 1948 during which an estimated 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from or fled their homes during fighting that would see the establishment of the state of Israel. Groups have planned mass rallies around the world, outside of Israeli embassies in North America and Europe, calling for an end to the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem, and a recognized right of return for millions of refugees and their descendants.
