Glory bows to you…
Just as it is the Hajj season, the huge crowds of displaced people were overflowing like a huge human flood and crossing Rashid Street on foot, hastening their steps towards Gaza City and its north, amidst the chants of thanks to God, while convoys of cars and vehicles passed through Salah al-Din Street, where the number of returnees was estimated at about 300,000.
Yesterday was a memorable day when the displaced people, who left northern Gaza by an unjust Israeli decision, under artillery shelling, tank fire, starvation, displacement and ethnic cleansing campaigns, decided to return to the most affected area in the Strip, amid mixed feelings between sadness over the destruction and devastation that the situation has reached, and the loved ones they have lost, and the joy of returning to cling to the land and soil of Gaza, as this means a lot to them, how could it not, when Gaza is their destination, the cradle of their civilization and the symbol of their pride, amidst a tremendous determination to build, inhabit and live despite the lack of homes and tents, but their great will is the most prominent bet on their survival and steadfastness, despite all the harsh and difficult conditions in the northern Strip.
The historical and legendary scene of the return of the displaced to the northern Gaza Strip shattered Israel’s illusions and wishes to displace our people and expel them from their land. The return of thousands of displaced people from our expelled people is a living embodiment of the ability of this great people to liberate the land and the holy sites and achieve the dream of return, despite the occupation and its extremist leaders who were disturbed by yesterday’s scene, in which our people raised the slogan (all roads lead to Gaza).
Our great people have foiled the displacement plan and the military generals’ plan, which reflected to everyone the manifestations of managing the challenge and steadfastness through steadfastness in the position of not giving up a single grain of the homeland’s soil, and responding in the best way to the statements of US President Donald Trump and members of his administration from the White House poles, which are consistent in their content with the Israelis’ orientations aimed at displacing and expelling the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, as this was announced publicly by the extremist Minister Smotrich, who admitted yesterday that he is working on developing a plan in cooperation with Netanyahu to displace the residents of Gaza, stressing the need to appoint an offensive chief of staff for the army to implement this mission completely and without hesitation, to prevent Hamas from controlling the Strip, and his return to the idea of encouraging the migration of the people of Gaza, and his opposition to the idea of stopping the war and resuming it after the end of the first stage of the ceasefire agreement.
The people of the Gaza Strip who returned today to northern Gaza say: Even if our hands and feet are cut off, we will march to you without fatigue or weakness. Peace be upon the homeland, and we say yes, for Palestine is not just a land, but rather an identity, a history, and an ongoing struggle for truth and dignity. Its people, who were falsely and slanderously described as terrorists, are the same people who presented the world with models of patience, sacrifice, and love of life.
Palestine continues to write a bright history that will not forget that this people is the owner of the land, and it is they who deserve to live with dignity, freedom and justice.
Glory kneels to you, the returning displaced people who cling to the land and its value... Congratulations to Gaza for you.
