That explains much of the Palestinian leadership’s views. They gave demands in 2021 and said they would take action in a year if those went unfilled.

50th anniversary of this war. 

I’m not an expert on the region, but I’m guessing they gave it a year then started planning for a symbolic date. 
 @26694a69 That leadership statement is by Abbas, who is head of the PLA that governs the West Bank. Hamas in Gaza broke away from the rest of Palestine after an armed conflict and don't recognise the PLA leadership.
