Hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians marched (Saturday, 16/9/2017) in a
march marking the International Day of Peace in solidarity with the
residents of al-Walaja. The march, entitled "Build Bridges, Not Walls,"
was held in protest against the demolition of houses in al-Walaja and
the construction of a wall that will surround the village and prevent
access to the spring and farmland. The march was supposed to end at the
rally, but for fear that this activity would result in the normalization
of the occupation, some residents of al-Walaja prevented the march from
entering the village and the holding of the rally.
