Palestinians are continuing to protest President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move the U.S. Embassy there. On Tuesday, Palestinian protesters in Ramallah were injured by Israeli soldiers, who attacked the protesters with tear gas. Meanwhile, an image has gone viral of a beaten and blindfolded young Palestinian protester being arrested by a dozen heavily armed Israeli soldiers. The 16-year-old boy, Fawzi al-Junaidi, is slated to appear in front of an Israeli military court today on charges of throwing stones. Israeli soldiers have killed at least four Palestinian protesters and wounded about 700 protesters since President Trump’s announcement. This is longtime Palestinian politician Talab al-Sana speaking Tuesday at a protest in front of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv.
Talab al-Sana: “We are here in the front of Israeli United States Embassy to say that the Trump declaration that Jerusalem belong for Israel unacceptable. This makes obstacles in the peace process, and he has no right to declare that Jerusalem belongs to Israel. Jerusalem is an issue for negotiation between Palestinians and Israel.”
