Palestinians protesting U.S Jerusalem move clash with Israeli troops

Hundreds of Palestinians clashed with Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank on Friday in what they said was a protest against U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Such clashes occur weekly, but tensions have risen following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement on Dec. 6, which stirred anger across the Arab and Muslim world and concern among Washington’s European allies as well as Russia. The move was welcomed by Israel.
