Hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated earlier in Ramallah in the West Bank, where some expressed support for Hamas amid Israel’s ongoing war against the terror group in Gaza.
The crowd chanted slogans including: “Liberate Gaza” and “The people want the Al-Qassam Brigades” in reference to Hamas’s armed wing.
Others waved Hamas flags along with banners representing a range of Palestinian movements.
Fakhi Barghouti, 80, said Palestinians in the West Bank “need to do more about the war in Gaza.”
Several people refused to answer AFP’s questions, believing that Western and particularly French media coverage of the war was “biased.”
