Palestinian supporters of the ruling Fatah party hold up pictures of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, center and top left, and pictures of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas during a rally supporting Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Monday, Nov. 9, 2009. Israel's president Shimon Peres on Saturday called on Abbas to rescind his decision to stand down, invoking the memory of Yitzhak Rabin at a public commemoration for the assassinated Israeli premier.
