Western recognition of Palestinian statehood celebrated in West Bank

Rallies were held in several cities across the West Bank on Tuesday to celebrate the Western recognition of the State of Palestine and to show solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of Palestinians, along with international activists, participated in a rally at Al-Manara Square in Ramallah. People waved Palestinian flags, accompanied by loud chants and music.
A poster hung high read that this event is “in support of Gaza and the prisoners and in rejection of the war of extermination,” and “in appreciation of the international positions supporting our people’s right to freedom and independence.”
Sabri Saidam, member of Fatah’s central committee, told Xinhua during the event that it is “a day of jubilation for Palestinians” and Palestinians “respect” the countries that support Palestine.
