The Higher National Commission of the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege has called on the Palestinian masses to join the large-scale rallies set to be staged on Friday, 101 years after the notorious Balfour Declaration saw the day.
The commission said in a Thursday statement that Friday’s protests seek to confirm Palestinians’ commitment to their inalienable rights, most notably the right of return, which has been thwarted by the Balfour promise.
The commission reiterated its calls for upholding non-violent rallies and standing on guard to the Israeli snipers on the Gaza border.
The commission said the rallies also come in response to the simmering Israeli terrorism against the Palestinians and also to draw the world’s attention to the ceaseless Israeli crimes against peaceful Palestinian protesters.
At the same time, the commission hailed the pro-Palestine efforts made by the Egyptian delegates who have recently popped in the besieged Gaza enclave.
Since March 30, thousands of Palestinians have taken part in the Great March of Return protests staged on the Gaza borders so as to speak up for Palestinians’ right of return and push for lifting the oppressive Israeli siege.
At least 228 Palestinian civilians, among them children, have been fatally gunned down by Israeli snipers near Gaza’s border fence. 10 slain protesters have had their bodies withheld by the occupation authorities. As many as 22,000 others have been left injured, including hundreds whose condition has been dubbed extremely critical.

The approval rate, in September, for an Israeli permit to leave Gaza for treatment abroad, for those injured in the March of Return protests near the border fence with Israel, was significantly lower than the overall approval rate: one of 18 applications, or 1%, was approved; one denied; and 16 delayed, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, in its monthly report on health access for Palestinian patients in the occupied territories, published on Wednesday.
It said that, overall, only 58% of applications for a permit to leave the besieged enclave, through Israel, for medical treatment in East Jerusalem or West Bank hospitals, were approved in September.
A total of 1,074 (555 male; 519 female), or 58% of the 1,837 applications to cross Beit Hanoun/Erez crossing between Gaza and Israel, in September, were approved. Over a third (37%) of permits approved were for children under age of 18, and almost a fifth (22%) were for elderly people over 60 years of age.
The report said 95 patient applications (66 male; 29 female), or (5%) of the total, were denied permission to cross Erez, for health care, in September. Those denied included seven children under the age of 18 years and 14 patients aged 60 years or older.
A total of 18% of denied applications were for appointments in neurosurgery, 17% for ophthalmology, 17% for orthopedics, and 12% for cancer treatment and investigation. More than 90% of denied permit applications were for appointments at hospitals in East Jerusalem or the West Bank.
WHO said that 668 patient applications (394 male; 274 female), or 36% of the total, were delayed access to care, receiving no definitive response to their application by the date of their hospital appointment.
Of these, 161 applications were for children under the age of 18 and 71 applications were for patients aged 60 years or older. Of the 668 delayed applications, 16% were for appointments in oncology, 15% for orthopedics and 10% for ophthalmology. The remaining 59% were for 26 other specialties.
Of the 1,837 applications to cross Beit/Hanoun Erez for health care, in September, 30% were for children under age of 18, 17% were for patients over the age of 60 and 45% of applications were for female patients.
Two-thirds (67%) of applications to cross Erez were for appointments in East Jerusalem hospitals, less than a fifth (18%) were for Israeli hospitals and less than one in six (15%) were for hospitals in the West Bank.
Makassed Hospital (29%) and Augusta Victoria Hospital (29%), both in East Jerusalem which the United States recently stopped all funding to, received three-fifths of referrals.
Permit applications for the top five specialties accounted for more than three-fifths (63%) of referrals: oncology (30%); hematology (9%); pediatrics (9%); orthopedics (8%); and ophthalmology (7%). The remaining referrals were for 25 other specialties, according to WAFA.

UN chief Antonio Guterres has expressed regret over the recent death of three children in an Israeli airstrike on a border area east of the besieged Gaza Strip.
"The targeting of Palestinian children or exposing them to risk leading to violence is utterly unacceptable", spokesman for the UN chief Stephane Dujarric said.
Dujarric added that the secretary-general "appeals to all to refrain from any act that could lead to further casualties, in particular any measures that could place children in harm's way."
Hundreds of Palestinians on Monday laid to rest three teenage boys killed in an Israeli aerial attack, with their families insisting they had no ties to any Palestinian resistance groups.
A crowd of mourners called on Gaza's resistance groups to retaliate for the brutal slaying of the kids.
The three boys lived in Wadi as-Salqa, a farming town in central Gaza near the Israeli border.
