Palestinians demonstrated over the weekend in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to protest last week’s U.S. air strikes against suspected terrorist targets in Afghanistan and Sudan. Ahmed Abdel Rahman, secretary-general of the Palestinian Cabinet, criticized the attack, saying it “will bring the world back to the rule of the jungle.” Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied reports that Israeli and U.S. intelligence agencies had shared extensive information on the infrastructure of Islamic terrorist networks during the planning stages of the raid.
