Israeli Forces Kill 3 More Palestinians Amid Growing Protests

HeadlineFeb 07, 2020

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed three more Palestinians Thursday in Israel’s crackdown on intensifying protests against President Trump’s Middle East plan. This comes as a 17-year-old Palestinian teenager was shot to death by Israeli military Wednesday. Demonstrations erupted after Trump unveiled his so-called peace plan last week while standing alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. Under the plan, drafted by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner without any input from Palestinians, Israel would gain sovereignty over large areas of the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem would be under total Israeli control, and all Jewish settlers in the occupied territory would be allowed to remain in their homes.
