The Higher National Committee for the Return Processions and Breaking the Siege, said that the Palestinians will not bargain on their legitimate national rights, and that they reject the so-called ‘Deal of the Century’.

It added that “the world needs to understand that the Palestinian people will never trade their legitimate right for scraps of humanitarian aid and partial solutions, but are struggling for legitimate rights, not only to end the deadly siege on Gaza, but also for independence and liberation to live in dignity and liberty”.

On Sunday evening, the soldiers fire a shell at Palestinians, near the perimeter fence area, between Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah, in the Gaza Strip, killing three children.
