Hamas leader calls for weekly protests in capital cities after Trump’s Jerusalem decision

THE head of Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas has called for fresh protests across the world against US President Donald Trump’s controversial recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

“We demand the Islamic world make every Friday a day of anger and revolution in every capital and city until we bring down Trump’s decision,” Ismail Haniya said.

“We ask churches, the Pope and our Christian Brothers to devote their Sunday prayers to Jerusalem,” he added.
