Palestinian activist: 'This spark will not stop'

Issam Bakr from the Popular Resistance Committees involved in today's demonstrations in Ramallah told Middle East Eye that the protests would continue until their demands were met.

“This day of popular anger is to remind the world that the Palestinian people have a right to continue this form of resistance, it is also expressing our anger against the Israeli policies in the al-Aqsa Mosque and al-Quds [Jerusalem], which have left no other option for the Palestinians but to continue resisting these Israeli decisions," he said.

"This spark will not stop, and these youths will continue to protest all across Palestine refusing to negotiate until all of our national objectives are met."
