(Middle East Eye) As US President Donald Trump brought together leaders from Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates to sign deals to establish diplomatic relations, just outside of the White House, hundreds of Palestinians, civil rights and advocacy groups gathered in protest of the occasion, accusing the leaders of ignoring the voices of Palestinians.
Coming together with waves of Palestinian flags, donning traditional keffiyehs, and some wearing masks with the words “Free Palestine,” the demonstrators shouted slogans: “No hate, no fear, Bibi is not welcome here,” and “Occupation is a crime, normalisation is a crime.”
Despite the White House being fenced off, the demonstrators wanted all attendees at the ceremony to hear their voices, and know that despite the agreements being labelled as “peace deals,” Palestinians will be put in more harm’s way as a result.
