But, with their government unable to do anything about the expansion of Israeli settlements, including in East Jerusalem, as well as continued conflicts over holy sites in Hebron, Bethlehem, and the Al-Aksa mosque, West Bank Palestinians are extremely frustrated. Recent street demonstrations could easily turn into an outbreak of ongoing resistance to Israeli rule.
管理西岸地带的法塔赫根本不希望发生新的巴勒斯坦起义。 马哈茂德·阿巴斯总统公开反对所谓的起义策略。 但由于阿巴斯政府面对以色列定居点在东耶路撒冷的扩张和希伯伦、伯利恒及阿克萨清真寺等地持续不断的冲突无能为力，让生活在西岸的巴勒斯坦民众感到失望之极。 最近发生的上街游行随时都可能演变成反对以色列统治的持续抵抗运动。
