Palestinians protest for hunger strikers in Bethlehem
Not far from the presidential palace in Bethlehem, dozens of Palestinians are protesting in support of hunger striking inmates in Israeli prison, who are 37 days into their fast.
A number of people hold up photos of prisoners refusing food and some water for better prison conditions.
Abbas reportedly plans to bring up their plight during his meeting with Trump.
The protest near the Church of the Nativity is reportedly the reason Trump will not visit the holy site.
