0 
Some 4,000 Palestinian refugees demonstrated against the direct negotiations between the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and Israel on Friday in Yarmouk refugees camp near Damascus.
The protestors who marched on Yarmouk street, waved Palestinian flags, chanting slogans which call for resistance to end up the " Israeli occupation" of the Palestinian territories.
They carried banners condemning the "negotiations of surrender" amid angry shouts denouncing the PNA's acceptance of the U.S. dictations to hold face-to-face talks with Israeli.
The protestors delivered several speeches in the protest, in which they stressed that the direct talks between the PNA and Israel will lead disastrous consequences to the Palestinian interests including giving up the refugees' right of return to their homeland from which they had been forced to leave in 1948 and 1967 wars.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday met in Washington resuming direct talks after a 20-month hiatus.
Palestinian parties and civil associations participated in the demonstration calling on the international community to shoulder responsibility over the Israeli policy of Judaizing Jerusalem, expanding settlement patches, confiscating Palestinian lands and continuing unjust siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.
The demonstration is coincided with Jerusalem Day which is marked annually by the Palestinian refugees in all of their camps around Syria on the last Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan.
