 RAMALLAH, West Bank - Several hundred teachers belonging to the ruling Hamas movement demonstrated in the West Bank city of Ramallh on Tuesday, demanding the dissolution of the Palestinian Authority if civil servant salaries are not paid. The 300 demonstrators carried signs, including one that read: ”Civil servants hunger + ministers’ detention = dissolution of the Authority.”
| The former being more important to these guys. |
“The aim of the demonstration is to demand from president (Mahmud Abbas), prime minister Ismail Haniya and the PLO executive committee to dissolve the Authority if the salaries are not paid,” said a spokesman for the protestors, Yusef Abu Ras.
The protestors also called for Israel to release Hamas ministers who have been detained in a wide clampdown on the movement that followed the June 25 capture of an Israeli soldier near Gaza.
| Sure, right away perfessor. |
