Commemorations for the 26th anniversary of the Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Uprising began Saturday morning with visits to martyrs' graves and memorials across several Arab towns. The events are organized by the Higher Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens in Israel, in cooperation with the National Committee of Heads of Arab Local Authorities and popular committees.
The day's program started in the village of Jatt in the Triangle region, where participants visited the grave of martyr Rami Ghara. The delegation then proceeded to Umm al-Fahm to pay respects at martyrs' graves and memorials there.
Further stops included Nazareth, where wreaths were laid and prayers offered at the memorial for the uprising's martyrs. The itinerary also includes visits to Kafr Kanna, Kafr Mandi, and Sakhnin, culminating in a central event in Arraba.
In Kafr Mandi, a visit was made to the memorial of martyr Ramiz Bishnak, with wreaths laid and prayers recited. Participants included members of the Higher Follow-up Committee, Bishnak's family, and local council representatives.
Kamal Khatib, participating in the events, urged attendees to "keep your eyes on Al-Aqsa." Hilmi Bishnak, brother of martyr Ramiz Bishnak, emphasized the importance of Arab unity at this stage, stating, "The Arab masses must be united."
