Palestinians in West Bank call for ceasefire | BBC News
In a show of solidarity with war-torn Gaza, shops were shuttered, and businesses, schools, and universities closed across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem on Monday.

Palestinian activists were demonstrating after the United States vetoed a UN resolution that would have called for a ceasefire. The US said it failed to condemn Hamas, which it designates a terrorist group.
