Following the February ouster of Egypt’s longstanding president Hosni Mubarak, calls have circulated in Egypt and throughout the region for a Third Intifada to begin on May 15.
“Unlike the first two Palestinian uprisings, the proposed Third Intifada is meant to involve the entire Arab world,” prominent Egyptian journalist and political analyst Abdelhalim Kandil told IPS.
It began with the appearance of a Facebook page in early March calling for a “Third Intifada” against the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. The page, reportedly founded by Arab pro-Palestinian groups, set the launch date for May 15, the day on which hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were driven from their homes in 1948 to make way for the nascent state of Israel.
