“Notorious Zionist terrorists imposed an illegitimate state of Israel on the sacred land of Palestine by massacring Palestinians and forced them to leave their homeland in May 1948 and that day was called Nakba Day in the history of Palestine,” said Sabir Karbalai, spokesman for the PLF at a joint press conference of his PLF’s central committee of patrons.
