US President Barack Obama is reportedly set to receive a cold reception when he visits the West Bank on Thursday.
Obama has angered Palestinians by significantly diluting his ambitions with regards to resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict, as he told news reporters:
"I will consider this a success if, when I go back on Friday, I am able to say to myself I have a better understanding of what the constraints are."
Meanwhile Palestinian activists have been protesting close to where Israel wants to build a new settlement in the occupied West Bank.
Mustafa Barghouthi, a senior Palestinian politician said:
"We are here to send a message to President Obama, our struggle, our non-violent peaceful resistance will continue until we are free."
