Comments by Political Commentator Joey Mannarino were cited by news agencies calling it a "day of Jihad" or "day of rage".

The Commentator said, “The leader of Hamas just called for a Global Day of Jihad this Friday. Do not leave your homes that day unless there is an emergency. Avoid public transit. Avoid airplanes. Avoid public events".

In a statement to Reuters, The former Hamas leader said, "[We must] head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday". He also called on the "tribes of Jordan", or neighboring countries surrounding Israel to join the protests

"Tribes of Jordan, sons of Jordan, brothers and sisters of Jordan…This is a moment of truth and the borders are close to you, you all know your responsibility.
