Jerusalem - Ma'an - The 'students' front' at the University of Tel Aviv in Israel yesterday commemorated International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People by holding a demonstration. Students at the demonstration distributed banners with slogans in both Hebrew and Arabic.

The slogans denounced the occupation and called for progress in the peace process and an end to conflict. They called for peace on the basis of the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and the creation of a just solution to the Palestinian refugee issue.

A statement from the demonstrators also stressed the importance of maintaining the current ceasefire and declared that this is integral to the progress of the peace process.
