"I believe the Palestinians and the Israelis have the right to have their own land. But we have to have a peace agreement to assure the stability for everyone and to have normal relations."

Left-wing groups were disturbed by Liberman's statements.

The Palestinian was shot in the stomach in the border region near the al-Bureij refugee camp, the Wafa report said.

"I woke up in the morning and there was nothing."

Police did not release any further information on the suspect or speculate on her motives for the shooting.

It's not yet clear if the activists involved in the protests can sustain the momentum.
