Palestinians in the West Bank are condemning the celebrations for the opening of a new mall in Ramallah, citing the ongoing Israel-Hamas War as a reason for their outrage. The celebrations included music, dancing, and fireworks, and were attended by Palestinian Authority officials. Many Palestinians expressed their anger, stating that the bloodshed in Gaza did not lead to protests in Ramallah, but the mall's opening did. Despite the backlash, some hope that the mall will bring economic opportunities to the struggling West Bank, which has seen a significant decline in its economy since the war began.
