'The Americans are not a fair arbiter': Palestinians protest in Ramallah

Demonstrations have taken place in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah after US President Donald Trump's announced his so-called "deal of the century."

More than 1,000 people, of all ages and genders, gathered at Manara circle late on Tuesday, before marching to the grave of Yasser Arafat.

Carrying posters and photos of Arafat and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the crowd called for reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas in order to present a united front against the Trump administration. 

"The Americans are not a fair arbiter," Tamer a 17-year-old from Ramallah told Middle East Eye as the crowd chanted slogans against the US and Israel.

"There is no justice. This plan is a plan for Israel. 

"We will do everything in our power to stop this plan from being implemented. We are hurting, we are devastated, but we are carrying on. We will continue to demand our rights to live in dignity and freedom."
