Palestinians Protest Austerity Measures in West Bank 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
Clashes broke out in the West Bank on Monday following a week of
protests against the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli occupation.
Thousands of Palestinians have taken to the streets to denounce
austerity measures imposed by the PA in the face of a shortfall of
international donations and of ongoing Israeli restrictions. A number of
Palestinian taxi and truck drivers went on strike and blocked roads in a
protest against a rise in fuel prices.
