Brief protest at Jaffa Gate broken up by police

A protest breaks out near the Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem, during US President Donald Trump’s visit to the capital, police say.

The protesters are Jews, but the precise agenda of the protest is not immediately evident.

Police officers on the scene quickly break up the protest and remove the demonstrators, as the area is closed off as part of the security precautions for Trump’s trip, a police spokesperson says.
