Is Tahrir Square Coming to Ramallah?
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Pinhas Inbari - On June 10, in the center of Ramallah, there was a large demonstration against PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, calling on him to remove the embargo from Gaza that left thousands of Gazan workers unpaid and electricity cut off. The PA was clearly concerned. Security officers in civilian clothing mingled with the crowd of demonstrators, photographed the leaders, and arrests are expected. Behind these demonstrations were the leaders of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Terror groups such as the Popular Front, the Democratic Front, and elements from the Fatah-Tanzim are involved with this network. There is a feeling of deep frustration among the Palestinians' younger generation. Therefore, it's easy to recruit them to these kinds of demonstrations.
