Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah said Saturday that all Israeli crimes against Palestinians would be documented, and that Palestine would join more international organizations.
Hamdallah: All Israeli violations will be documented
Speaking during a celebration of Palestinian Martyr Day in Ramallah, Hamdallah said: "We will not accept that our martyrs be turned into numbers, names, or be forgotten as Israel wants."
He said the Palestinian Authority's main goal was to "accomplish Palestinians' ambitions and aspirations and that for which the martyrs died and sacrificed."

"We will continue working with all the free people of the world and with international human rights organizations to make sure that the bodies of all Palestinian martyrs be returned from numbered graves (in Israeli-controlled areas) and be buried according to Palestinian national and religious rituals"

Since the late 1960s, Israel has withheld the bodies of hundreds of Palestinians. Their bodies are interred in numbered, rather than named, graves in four cemeteries created for that purpose, the biggest of which is located in the Jordan Valley.


Following an Israeli Supreme Court decision in 2014, a number of Palestinian families have received the remains of relatives who were killed by Israeli forces and whose bodies had been held by Israel.
