Thousands of Palestinians are protesting in Gaza and the West Bank against Israel’s West Bank annexation plans

Several thousand brandished Palestinian flags and placards condemning Trump at a rally in Gaza City. Signs held by protesters call the plan a “declaration of war” on the Palestinian people.

Demonstrations are also building in the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Jericho.

“The resistance must be revived,” Gaza protester Rafeeq Inaiah tells AFP. “Israel is afraid of force.”
