PA TV News broadcast
Jamil Barghouti of the Committee to Resist Settlements and the Wall: “Our message is the escalation of the popular resistance, as a sign of loyalty to the prisoners and the Martyrs, especially on this day when we renew the pledge of loyalty to our brave prisoners and demand the release of all of them. We send greetings to them and to their families and to the prisoner leaders Marwan Barghouti, [Ahmad] Sa’adat and [Fouad] Al-Shubaki, greetings and appreciation, and Allah willing, there will be no peace and the occupier will enjoy no security as long as our prisoners are in the occupation’s prisons.”
