Hundreds of demonstrators call for an end to PA President Mahmoud Abbas's 16-year rule during a rally in Ramallah on Saturday, July 3, 2021 (Aaron Boxerman/The Times of Israel) Hundreds of Palestinian demonstrators called for an end to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s 16-year reign on Saturday in the latest demonstration sparked by the death of PA critic Nizar Banat. “Abbas, dissolve the PA, and get out of our way!” protesters called as they wound their way through Ramallah’s downtown. As the protest heated up, hundreds of demonstrators began calling “the people want the fall of the regime” and “leave,” slogans associated with the 2011 Arab revolutions.
