Gaza City (CNN) -- A day after Israeli security forces killed at least two protesters amid a frenzied eruption of anger over the fatal shelling of a United Nations school, Palestinian leaders called for a "day of rage" Friday in the West Bank.

The call for a massive follow-up to what were already some of the largest West Bank protests in years comes as diplomats scrambled to find cease-fire proposal that would satisfy mortal enemies Israel and Hamas and end more than two weeks of violence that has claimed more than 800 lives, most of them civilians.

Israeli police posted additional officers in Jerusalem ahead of the protests, spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said on Twitter. Police had deployed between 3,000 and 4,000 officers to prepare for expected violence, the Jerusalem Post newspaper reported.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State John Kerry was meeting with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri Friday, and the Israeli Security Cabinet was meeting in closed session. But it was unclear if a deal to at least temporarily end the violence was near, or that Hamas would accept it.

Israel appears to be in a very stubborn mood. They are not interested in any type of agreement. They really want to do a large scale genocide of the Palestinian people. I am not very well inform on the politics in Palestine and Israel but what I do know is that Israel isn't a country completely innocent in all of the atrocities from the past and present. People must remember that the majority of Israel was once Palestine. Palestine lost land due to wars with Israel over the years but this current conflict wreaks of corruption and sheer evil by Israel.
