Tunisians protest prospect of Israel ties

Hundreds of people have taken to the streets of the Tunisian capital calling on their government to refrain from establishing diplomatic ties with Israel.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "Who chairs a committee opposing the normalization of ties between the countries "Death to all Tunisians attempting to normalize relations with Israel,"..."We will denounce them and publish their names," Ahmed Kahlaoui said.

Earlier this month, the authority in charge of political reform following the ouster of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, adopted a "republican pact" meant to form the basis of a new constitution.

The pact rules out the normalization of ties with Israel but some of the body's members reportedly preferred to exclude the issue from the document.

Sunday's demonstrators say they can no longer trust the current government and threatened to oust leaders who support the normalization of ties with Israel.
