Motorists pass a banner supporting the creation of a single state for Israelis and Palestinians which reads in Arabic: "If I had to choose between one state and two states, I would choose the one state," in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Thursday, Feb. 23, 2017. A two-state solution, Palestine alongside Israel has been the preferred choice of the international community but President Donald Trump said last week he wasn’t wedded to the idea, triggering a new debate.

Palestinian protesters throw shoes at Trump picture
HEBRON, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian protesters have thrown shoes at a banner depicting U.S. President Donald Trump in protest of his Mideast policies.
Issa Amro, a Palestinian activist, said "we disrespect this president who doesn't see us as equal human beings with everyone."
Trump is unpopular among Palestinians because the new president has broken from his predecessor and adopted friendlier positions to the Israeli government, including a vague stance on Palestinian statehood and a more lenient approach to settlements.
Friday's protest in biblical Hebron was part of several planned to mark the 1994 killing of 29 Palestinian worshippers in the city by extremist Baruch Goldstein at a holy shrine sacred to both Jews and Muslims.
The site is known to Jews as the Cave of the Patriarchs and to Muslims as the Ibrahimi Mosque.
