Israel is prepared to handle this week’s “Global March to Jerusalem,” officials
said on Sunday, as organizers plan a multi-pronged rush on the country’s borders
to mark the 36th anniversary of Land Day on Friday.
Organizers of the
event – known as “GMJ” – say they are planning peaceful marches on the Israeli
border in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, at checkpoints in the West Bank and
at entrances to the Gaza Strip.
“Our aim is to end the Zionist policies
of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and Judaization, which all harm the people, land
and sanctity of Jerusalem,” they wrote on the event’s official homepage. “The
GMJ is comprised of a diverse coalition of Palestinian, Arab and international
activists who are united in the struggle to liberate the holy city of Jerusalem
(the city of peace) from illegal Zionist occupation.”
