AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Hundreds of Lebanese and Palestinians held a protest Sunday near the US Embassy in Lebanon against a White House plan on Palestine.
Protesters waving Palestinian flags gathered on a road leading to the embassy northeast of Beirut amid tight security by Lebanese troops and riot policemen.
“Death to America! Death to Israel! We will die and Palestine survive," some of the demonstrators chanted, AP reported.
The US plan would grant the Palestinians limited self-rule in parts of the occupied West Bank, while allowing Israel to annex all its settlements there and keep nearly all of east Jerusalem al-Quds.
Around noon the protesters removed the barbed wire and reached a metal fence set up by security forces. Police used what appeared to be pepper spray to hold back some of the demonstrators, with at least three protesters being carried away.
