More international activists are making their way toward Gaza, this time by land, in an effort to break the Israeli siege. On Sunday, a Tunisian-led road convoy of activists, lawyers and medical professionals started the journey from Tunis toward the Rafah crossing in Egypt. This is organizer Wael Naouar.

Wael Naouar: “This march is not a train or a plane. It is a protest or an independent, mobile Maghrebian popular gathering, which will stop in many countries and at many stations in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt. It will speak to people, speak about the Palestinian right, mobilize people and, more than that, will remind everyone that Palestine is not just on social media or in another planet, but it is at days’ walking distance, so the Arab people should remember that we are one land, one people.”

Hundreds of activists from around the world are expected to converge in Cairo this week, before making the journey by foot to Rafah as part of the Global March to Gaza. One of the high-profile participants will be Zwelivelile “Mandla” Mandela, South African member of Parliament and the grandson of Nelson Mandela. We’ll speak to another participant, former Biden administration official Hala Rharrit, later in the broadcast.
