PIC comment
PIC reported:
The Palestinian people took to the streets in all the governorates of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the occupied city of Jerusalem, expressing their anger and rejection of the announcement by US President Donald Trump in which he recognized the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') as the capital of Israel.
“The uprising of the freedom of Quds”, coincided with the anniversary of the first Intifada or “the Intifada of Stones”, which began on 8 December 1987, and documented the struggle of the Palestinian people and was considered a milestone in the history of the Palestinian cause after attempts to obliterate it and at a time the violations and measures against the Palestinian people by the Israeli occupation forces had increased.
In an atmosphere similar to the one experienced prior to the first intifada, thousands of youths took to the checkpoints and contact points with the Israeli occupation forces in a number of locations, during which youths threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the Israeli occupation forces.
The current state of frustration that the Palestinians feel, given the full bias of the United States in favor of the Israeli occupation, has strengthened the conditions that could lead to the outbreak of a popular uprising in which the Palestinians could use the traditional methods of confronting the occupation, which they used during the first intifada in 1987.
Observers believe that the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel hit the religious and national sentiments of the Palestinians, which could spark the start of a popular movement that could turn into an uprising.
Thousands of Palestinian took to the streets in the main cities of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the occupied city of Jerusalem and the occupied territories in 1948, while those in the diaspora organized dozens of mass demonstrations in a number of Arab and international capitals.
Checkpoints and colonies turned into confrontations points, while dozens of Palestinian youths were injured or suffered breathing problems due to the Israeli occupation forces’ use of live bullets, rubber-coated-bullets, and teargas canisters against them.
