Ramallah, December 13 (RHC)-- In the occupied West Bank, scores of Palestinians have been wounded as protests continue to rage over U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move the U.S. Embassy there. 

In Ramallah, four protesters were wounded by live fire, as Israeli security forces fired bullets and tear gas at Palestinians who burned tires and threw stones.  

Dozens more were wounded in the Gaza Strip, including three Palestinians hit by live rounds.  In occupied East Jerusalem, protesters marched on the U.S. Consulate amid a massive security crackdown. 

In Jakarta, Indonesia, some 10,000 protesters gathered outside the U.S. Embassy to protest Trump’s decision.  There were similar protests in Santiago de Chile; Beirut, Lebanon; Brussels, Belgium; and Dhaka, Bangladesh, among other cities. 

In the Turkish capital, Ankara, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Israel as a “terrorist state” -- while visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin said the U.S. decision on Jerusalem threatens to further destabilize the Middle East.
