Live blog update| Third Intifada

Intifada or not?

Palestinians remain divided about whether the ongoing tensions and violence amount to a new Intifada.

A Palestinian taxi driver from the West Bank told an MEE contributor this morning that: 

"This is not a Third Intifada, it's the war of freedom. It's been 67 years we don't want another Intifada." 

But a 21-year-old Palestinian from Bethlehem disagreed: 

"We are fighting the Third Intifada, there is no question about that now."
