Palestinian and Lebanese officials and representatives of political factions participated in the rally, along with residents of Ein El-Helwa and Mieh Mieh refugee camps.
Mohammad Maw’ed, secretary of Saida’s Popular Committee, stressed that the Palestinian right to return is a collective and individual right; inalienable, guaranteed by all international charters and can’t be dropped by time or negotiations.
Mayor of Saida, Abdul Rahman Al-Bizri, called to pressure the Israeli government to recognize the Palestinians’ inalienable rights.
To be noted, the March of Return in Lebanon was supposed to head towards the Lebanese southern borders with Israel, but was delayed due to Lebanese authorities’ ban against taking any action in the borders areas. The Lebanese army was also stationed along the southern borders in a state of alert, in preparation of Naksa day events.
