Facebook has removed a page calling for a new Palestinian uprising against Israel after more than 350,000 people signed up to it.
The page which appeared on the social networking site was called Third Palestinian Intifada after two previous uprisings against Israeli occupation.
It was removed for featuring calls for violence, a company spokesman said.
Israel had raised concerns about the page. Facebook has helped spread calls for protests in Arab states.The Third Palestinian Intifada page had called for an uprising after Muslim prayers on Friday 15 May.
"Judgment Day will be brought upon us only once the Muslims have killed all of the Jews," a quote from the page read.
