The event, called “Global March to Jerusalem,” (GMJ) is being orchestrated by the International Central Committee, a group comprised of 42 delegates representing five continents, according to GMJ’s official site.

The delegates seek to have one million people march in solidarity along the borders of Israel in surrounding Middle Eastern countries in an attempt to come “to the nearest point possible” to the ancient and historically significant city of Jerusalem.

Marches are also being organized on public squares in capital cities, as well as in front of Israeli embassies, throughout the world and are planned to take place by groups from countries as far away from the borders of Jerusalem as Canada, Britain, Denamrk, Greece,  and Switzerland.

“The Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ) is a groundbreaking new initiative that is organizing non-violent civil resistance on 30 March 2010 in Palestine and the four neighboring countries: Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria,” the event website reads.

The march will take place this Friday, March 30 on a symbolically important date for Palestinians – which commemorates “Land Day,” a day when six Arab Israelis were killed in protests against Israeli land policies.

Israel has issued a clear warning to Arab states and the Palestinian Authority against allowing the march with soldiers deployed along Israel’s borders have been instructed to increase their level of alert.
