Anti-Obama protesters scuffle with Palestinian police
RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) – Palestinian police scuffled on Tuesday with scores of demonstrators protesting against the visit of U.S. President Barack Obama to the occupied West Bank later this week.
Dozens of officers and plainclothes policemen prevented the crowd from reaching the main offices of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the Palestinians’ de facto capital Ramallah, leading to shoving, but no serious injuries.
Palestinians are sceptical of Obama’s visit, which U.S. officials have said will not seek an immediate revival of peace talks with Israel.
