The Ramallah rally was attended by Hanan Ashrawi, member of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Executive Committee, Bassam Al-Salhi, secretary-general of Palestine People Party, Mustafa Al-Barghouthi, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, and Mamdouh Al-Aker, the director Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR). Palestinian citizens and students from the Bir Zeit and Al-Quds Open University attended the rally.

The participants waved Palestinian and Egyptian flags and chanted slogans calling for President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster.

"From Ramallah to Al-Tahrir (Square), the peoplewant change," "bring down the regimes of oppression," they chanted.

"This demonstration is a message of solidarity and brotherhood with the Egyptian people battling for democracy and reforms," Ashrawi said.

Some protesters scuffled with supporters of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party during the rally, which was authorized by the Palestinian Authority unlike a protest last Wednesday which was dispersed by police.

The Palestine police were deployed near the Al-Manara Square in Ramallah to "provide security for the residents and protesters."

In Bethlehem, hundreds of residents rallied at the Manger Square in support of the Egyptian people.

Arab Palestinians in the city of Nazareth inside Israel also held a similar rally.
