The PLO has declared tomorrow to be a "Day of Rage" against US policies, especially Secretary of State Pompeo's declaration that Israeli settlements are not illegal per se.
"All governorates of the homeland will witness on Tuesday a public outcry in rejecting the unjust American resolutions against our cause and our people, " says the official PA Wafa news agency.
Azzam al-Ahmad, a member of the PLO's Central Committee, told Voice of Palestine radio that "the forces and factions met in all governorates and took the necessary preparations for the day of rage on Tuesday to come out with one voice to tell the whole world that our rights cannot be stolen by the occupation and to confirm that we are sticking to the PLO national program and its rejection of the US administration allied with Government of occupation."
Jamal Muheisen, a member of Fatah's Central Committee, said that the day of anger tomorrow wll lead to "a comprehensive uprising in the face of occupation crimes."
Member of the Executive Committee of the PLO Saleh Raafat, said, "The factions are now working to form night-guard committees in all areas adjacent to the settlements in anticipation of the implementation of the settlers of any aggression in the coming days" - which makes it sound like they plan on attacking settlements under the guise of defending themselves.
The protests will center in Nablus, Ramallah and Hebron, where they will march towards the Jewish section of the city.
The Ministry of Education announced it would close schools for the Day of Rage from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, to increase the size of the demonstration and to incidentally teach their children that education is not a high priority. Some labor unions are calling on workers to take off in the afternoon as well.
The factions are expecting violence and are putting ambulances on standby.
