Against the backdrop of the "Flag March" through which Palestinians saw a renewed wave of aggression in Al-Aqsa, occupied Al-Quds, Palestinian factions have been on high alert in case the settlers and the occupation forces were to violate the sanctities of the holy sites, which are of great importance to Palestinians monotheistic religions and culture. 

In response to the "Flag March" - an annual aggressive demonstration that aims to claim illegal ownership over Palestinian territory, Palestinians responded with another march in which they flew their Palestinian flags, reasserting their inherent right and full entitlement to their land.

A member of Ansar Allah's political bureau, Muhammad Al-Bakhiti, said that "the Israelis' calculations were wrong because they were based on traitors' intel."

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Al-Bakhiti pointed out that "the Israeli entity did not expect the Palestinian reaction, and the scenes of steadfastness left a significant impact on the feelings of Arabs and Muslims."

Al-Bakhiti addressed boycotting, saying, "As Arabs and Muslims, we must activate boycotting products of countries that support Israel," adding that "the United States, Britain and the countries that support Israel have a lot to lose from such boycott."

According to Al-Bakhiti, "Israeli analysts fear that their entity will not live to see more than 80 years."

Al-Bakhiti also told Al Mayadeen that "the enthusiastic speeches by Israeli officials" are to divert the attention away from their incompetence. 

Leila Khaled to Al Mayadeen: The axis of resistance has our back

On her part, Leila Khaled, a member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said that "the Palestinian flag is a symbol for the whole country, from the river to the sea."

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Khaled stressed that "the occupier must retreat," and "the marches are a sign of the bankruptcy of the Zionist entity," adding that "the Israelis are afraid, and therefore they mobilized the extremists to say that Al-Quds is theirs, but it will never be."

Khaled considered that "Naftali Bennett's government is fragile and on the verge of collapsing any time," pointing out that "the Israeli political class is divided, and the settlers have appeared today to be reservists in the occupation army."

In her speech, Khaled said that "the Israelis were afraid of response with missiles," and that "the Palestinian people did not need rockets today, making it clear to the Israelis that they are capable of confrontation."

Furthermore, she explained that "the Axis of Resistance has the Palestinians' back and will never let them down."

"All reports of international organizations indicate that the Israeli regime is an apartheid regime, and this worries Israel," the Palestinian freedom fighter said, stressing that "the world has begun to wake up to new concepts related to this entity after it was portrayed for long as a victim."
