Sami Abu Shehadeh, head of the National Democratic Assembly, said "this memory comes amidst a right-wing Israeli government that is a danger to the Palestinian cause."
He called on the Palestinians to "achieve national unity, end division and unite around national demands."
In the Juhor ad-Dik area in the central Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture organized a national event in commemoration of Land Day, during which dozens of olive trees were planted.
"This event comes within the framework of commemorating the Land Day, and passing on the history of sacrifices made by the Palestinian people to the next generations," Adham al-Bassiouni, spokesman for the ministry, told Anadolu.
He explained that the commemoration coincides with "the increase in the frequency of Israeli violations against Palestinian lands and farmers."
The Land Day, March 30, is an annual day of commemoration for Palestinians of the events of that date in 1976 when the Israeli authorities confiscated vast areas of Palestinian land.
