2012-01-25 2

Scores of Palestinians demonstrated in Ramallah on Thursday, burning photos of U.S. President Barack Obama to protest his opposition to the Palestinian statehood bid. Some of the protesters held signs calling the U.S. President a hypocrite others accused Obama of siding with Israel. Egyptian media reports said thousands plan to demonstrate in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt on Friday in support of the Palestinian statehood bid. Meanwhile Israel Police and the I DF are gearing up for the possibility that clashes may erupt at the Temple Mount on Friday after noon prayers. Police were considering Thursday whether to limit the entry of Muslim worshippers to the Temple Mount.
