Hundreds of Palestinians have marched in Ramallah to protest a return to negotiations with “Israel”.
Demonstrators marched from the city center towards Abbas’ headquarters in the Muqata, chanting slogans condemning the Palestinian Authority’s decision to return to talks.
Four PA police officers and three protesters were injured when both sides clashed during the march, which was organized by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Addameer prisoners group said dozens of protesters were injured by police, adding that PA forces were arresting injured demonstrators at public hospitals.
Palestinian Legislative Council member Khaled Jarrar was assaulted by a policeman during the clashes, witnesses said.
Palestinian and Israeli negotiators are to meet in Washington on July 30 for a round of talks after a three-year break in “peace” negotiations, a Palestinian official said on Saturday.
US officials will also take part.
