fifth day of angry protests was expected in the Middle East on "


onday over US President Donald Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, as Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas visited Cairo for crisis talks.

As near universal criticism of Trump’s decision mounted, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks with EU foreign ministers in Brussels, declaring that the move he has lauded as historic “makes peace possible”.

But further protests were being planned for Lebanon and Iran as well as in east Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories.

Hezbollah, which fought a war with Israel in 2006, called for the demonstration in Beirut’s southern suburbs, with large crowds and a speech by the Shiite group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah expected in the afternoon.

A large turnout was also expected for a protest in Tehran.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Sunday that Trump’s decision threw “fuel on the fire” of Middle Eastern tensions and would not be tolerated.

A protest was being organised in the afternoon in front of a US cultural centre in east Jerusalem, while another was planned for Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

In Ramallah on Monday, dozens of Palestinians threw stones at Israeli soldiers in the latest such clash.

Palestinian demonstrations have declined in number and intensity since reaching a peak on Friday, but there are concerns they will again increase later this week.

Four Palestinians have so far been killed in clashes or Israeli air strikes in response to rocket fire from Gaza, while hundreds have been wounded.

Tens of thousands have also demonstrated in a range of Middle Eastern and Muslim nations.

‘Rejected and denounced’
Palestinian leaders have been outraged by Trump’s move, but they also face difficult choices in how to respond since they rely on US aid and would like to salvage remaining hopes of a two-state solution to the conflict.

Abbas will refuse to meet with US Vice President Mike Pence when he visits the region later this month, Palestinian officials say, a move that led Washington to accuse the Palestinian leader of “walking away” from a chance to discuss peace.

Abbas was on Monday to hold talks with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Egypt — a key US ally in the region — ahead of a summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the main pan-Islamic body, on Wednesday.

“Our message to the entire world is that Jerusalem is a Palestinian city and the US decision is rejected and denounced,” Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said, quoted by official news agency WAFA.

“What is required now are bold Palestinian and Arab decisions for the coming stage, which is very important and very critical. The Palestinians and Arabs should stand together.”

Netanyahu, who has been dogged by corruption investigations against him at home, has lauded the US president’s declaration and called for other countries to follow suit.

On Monday, he was in Brussels as part of a two-day trip to Europe after having met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris the previous day, with the visits having been planned before Trump’s declaration.

Macron urged Netanyahu to “show courage” and take measures to restart long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, including freezing settlement construction in the West Bank.

Netanyahu, who heads what is seen as the most right-wing government in Israeli history, showed no sign of obliging, instead seeking to place blame on the Palestinians for stalled peace efforts.

He met EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday, the first such talks with an Israeli premier in 22 years and after the bloc’s diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini warned Trump’s move could take the situation “backwards to even darker times”.

Netanyahu had a starkly different view.

“It doesn’t obviate peace, it makes peace possible, because recognising reality is the substance of peace, it’s the foundation of peace,” Netanyahu said alongside Mogherini.

Mogherini said the “worst thing "

Arabs are found of taking people's land or trying to overtake if given a little opportunity of just staying in a place London is suffering it and same must not go for Jerusalem
the truth is that no matter how arab fume high or fight they'd still be the one counting their loss in mass amount.

therefore anything that brings Arab or Islamic jihadist/ blood suckers to their kneels is welcomed by me

Ohh God

I guess you are more than stupid to bear such silly views. And you idiotically concluded that lives of Islamized Arabs are not at risk in USA and Middle East? Nobody had monopoly to violence. If USA decides today that the world will not know any peace, most dumbass fools will not step out of their places of abode.
