Clashes also broke out in the West Bank cities of Bethlehem, al-Beereh, Tulkarem, and Hebron, where demonstrators burned tires and threw stones at the Israeli soldiers who fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that at least 41 Palestinian demonstrators were injured: four were shot by Israeli soldiers' rubber gunshots while others suffered suffocation after inhaling tear gas.
Meanwhile, a general strike dominated the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip where all stores closed, as hundreds of young men and schoolchildren took to streets in protest against the U.S. peace plan.
The office of the Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh said in a press statement that Haniyeh, who is currently in Qatar, welcomed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' decision to send a delegation from the West Bank to Gaza next week.
"Sending a Fatah delegation to the Gaza Strip to discuss unity after the U.S. Deal of the Century was declared is a positive step that prepares for a new stage in the Palestinian dialogue for unity," the statement said.
The internal Palestinian division between Fatah and Hamas began after the latter forcibly seized control of the Gaza Strip and routed the security forces of Abbas in the summer of 2007.
