Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA group of around 100 Arab Israelis are protesting in front of the US embassy in Tel Aviv against President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Waving Palestinian flags, the protesters are holding signs that read: “We will not give Jerusalem to the occupier,” and “The future of Jerusalem will not be determined by an American cowboy.” Some held posters depicting Trump as a snake.
The demonstration was organized by the Arab Higher Monitoring Committee, and is attended by several Arab lawmakers including Ahmad Tibi, Yousef Jabarin, Taleb Abu Arar and Abd al-Hakim Hajj Yahya.
