Today, Palestinians are commemorating the 57th Nakba (catastrophe in Arabic) Day, which marks Israel's independence and the "exodus of refugees from Palestine" in 1948.
According to Palestinian organizations, Nakba Day activities this year focus on the "rejection of calls to relinquish the right of return."
At 12 p.m. (5 a.m. EDT) a siren will be heard all across the Palestinian Authority, followed by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' official speech.
Meanwhile, parades and demonstrations are expected to take place in the territories throughout the day.
