The Palestinian Youth Movement has called for stepping up protest moves across the occupied Palestinian territories in response to the U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
In a Saturday statement the Youth Movement urged the Palestinian Authority chaired by Mahmoud Abbas to opt for serious steps and work on boosting armed resistance and anti-occupation uprisings.
The movement vowed to keep up protest moves in support for Occupied Jerusalem calling on the Arab and Islamic governments and institutions to break their silence and react to the U.S. biased decision.
The statement mourned the four Palestinian protesters who were killed by the Israeli occupation army during Friday’s anti-Trump protests.
On Friday four Palestinians were fatally shot by the occupation army and over 560 others injured in clashes across 70 flashpoints with the Israeli forces in the West Bank Occupied Jerusalem and the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Tension has reached a zenith across the occupied Palestinian territories after Trump recognized in a televised speech from the White House Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and pledged to transfer the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to the historic city—home to Muslims’ third holiest site al-Aqsa Mosque.
