Pro-Palestine Protests Erupt Around the World
According to authorities, at least four Palestinian protesters have been killed and hundreds injured.
Protests have erupted across the world outside U.S. embassies after President Donald Trump’s decision to move the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, declaring the city Israel’s capital. From Malaysia and Indonesia to Turkey and Afghanistan, people demonstrated their rage, torching U.S. flags and burning effigies of Trump, while waving signs and chanting the words, “Long Live Palestine!”
