Abbas’s Fatah says protests against Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem should be nonviolent

A spokesperson for PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party calls for nonviolent protests against US President Donald Trump’s expected announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Speaking in English at a press conference in Ramallah, Nasser al-Qidwe says protests expressing Palestinian anger over the measure should be done “in a peaceful and an unarmed sustainable way so that would lead to serving the Palestinian national cause in this regard.”
