Four Palestinians dead in new wave of violence over Trump Jerusalem move

Four Palestinians have died in Gaza during clashes with Israeli troops near the border, Palestinian officials say.

Four Palestinians were killed and hundreds wounded  Friday in violence with Israeli forces across the Palestinian territories, as tens of thousands of people joined new protests against Washington’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

US President Donald Trump’s December 6 announcement that he would break with decades of American policy and move his embassy to Jerusalem has stirred international condemnation, as well as protests across the Palestinian territories and Arab world.

Demonstrators have burned American and Israeli flags and trampled on pictures of Trump amid concerns his announcement would lead to major bloodshed.
