‘Thousands of young Israeli hardliners have marched in the occupied West Bank to call on the regime to build illegal settler units on a controversial site near East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

According to reports, some 6,000 people attended the march on Thursday that started in Maale Adumim settlement and ended at E1.

The protesters demanded the Tel Aviv regime to construct new settler homes in E1 that is a sensitive zone between East al-Quds and the West Bank.

They carried signs reading “Kerry = persona non grata,” referring to US Secretary of State John Kerry who is seeking to push Israel and Palestinians toward an agreement.’
