Dozens of Palestinian protesters marching in solidarity with the hunger-striking prisoners in Israeli jails on Monday evening in Bethlehem city chanted slogans condemning the US and the visit of its president Donald Trump to the region.
One protest chant described the US as “the head of the snake.”
The participants marched from al-Deheisheh refugee camp south of Bethlehem to the prisoner solidarity tent in Manger Square outside the Church of Nativity.
Earlier violent clashes broke out between young protesters and soldiers from the Palestinian Authority security apparatuses in Bethlehem after the latter attacked the march they staged in solidarity with the hunger strikers in Israeli prisons.
