巴勒斯坦民众抗议美国的中东和平计划

Thousands of Palestinians demonstrated on Tuesday in the West Bank and Gaza against the US Mideast peace plan, known as the "Deal of the Century."
 
成千上万的巴勒斯坦人周二在约旦河西岸和加沙地区举行游行,抗议美国被称为“世纪之约”的中东和平计划。
 
A main rally was held in the center of the West Bank city of Ramallah in the aftermath of demonstrations all over the West Bank. Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and carried banners that slammed the US plan.
 
Earlier on Tuesday, the Palestinian Authority government called on its employees to join the rallies and the protests.
 
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtaye said at the rally that "the Palestinians are united behind their leaders in rejecting the American plan until toppling it."
 
He stressed that the Palestinians "are able to topple all deals and projects which aim at eliminating the just Palestinian cause."
 
Mahmoud Aloul, deputy chairman of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party, told the participants of the rally that "we are all united against the American plan."
 
"There is no single Palestinian citizen, who is ready to accept the deal, which targets the Palestinian people's legitimate rights and their holy places," said Aloul.
