The rallies, which started on March 30 in the Gaza Strip, are demanding the world’s recognition of Palestinians’ right of return and the lifting of a 11-year blockade on the Gaza Strip by Israel.
It (May 14) was the deadliest day in the besieged territory since the 2014 war. The UN on Friday voted to send a team of investigators to probe the deadly shootings, which took place as US delegates opened the new embassy in Jerusalem.
