At the main rally in Sakhnin, an Arab city in northen Israel, AFP journalists saw many people wearing the traditional keffiyeh scarf as they waved Paleostinian flags and chanted: "Freedom! Freedom!"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to office in December at the head of a hard-right administration, including bully boy coalition partners with a history of anti-Arab rhetoric.
