As the Arab League deadline edges closer…
Dozens of protesters gathered in front of the US consulate in west Jerusalem on Saturday in support of Bashar al-Assad.
Arab-Israeli and Palestinian protesters waved Syrian flags and held portraits of Assad, an AFP photographer reported. Israeli police and security guards deployed outside the consulate did not intervene.
"Down with imperialism and the reactionary conspiracy against Syria," one banner read, while another said: "Hands off Syria."
Other signs denounced Qatar and the Arab League, accusing both of joining a common front with the US against Damascus.
