"No to Israeli occupation, yes to a Palestinian state," shouted the demonstrators and unfurled a huge Palestinian flag. They called for an end to the Israeli siege of Gaza and dismantling of the illegal Jewish settlements on occupied Palestinian territories. It is widely expected that the Palestinian Authority may submit an application to the United Nations on Friday for recognition of official statehood. (end) nk.gb KUNA 220003 Sep 11NNNN
