The 2018–2019 Gaza border protests, by the organiser called the Great March of Return (Arabic: مسیرة العودة الكبري), were a series of demonstrations held each Friday in the Gaza Strip near the Gaza-Israel border from 30 March 2018 and onwards.[1]

The protests demanded that the Palestinian refugees must be allowed to return to lands they were displaced from and was confiscated by Israel.[2][3][4][5] They also protested against Israel's Gaza blockade and United States recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel.[6]
