GAZA: Israeli air strikes in Gaza killed two Palestinian gunmen on Saturday after rockets were allegedly fired from the enclave, in violence that erupted over President Donald Trump?s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel?s capital.
In Cairo, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki said the Palestinians will seek a UN Security Council resolution over Trump?s decision on Jerusalem. Turkey?s President Tayyip Erdogan and French President Emmanuel Macron will work together to try to persuade the United States to reconsider the move, a Turkish presidential source said.
Trump?s reversal of decades of US policy has infuriated the Arab world and upset Western allies, who say it is a blow to peace efforts and risks sparking more violence in the region. Gaza militants allegedly launched at least three rockets towards Israeli towns from the Gaza Strip - which is controlled by Hamas - after dark on Friday.
The day had been declared a ?day of rage? by Palestinian factions protesting against Trump?s announcement on Wednesday. ?IAF (Israeli Air Force) aircraft targeted four facilities in the Gaza Strip: two weapons manufacturing sites, a weapons warehouse, a military compound,? the Israeli military said in a statement.
A Hamas source confirmed the two men killed in the pre-dawn air strikes belonged to a group, which has urged Palestinians to keep up the confrontation with Israeli forces.Palestinian protests on Saturday were less intense than on the previous two days.
About 60 Palestinian youths threw stones at Israeli soldiers across the Gaza-Israel border and the health ministry said at least 10 were wounded by Israeli fire. In the West Bank, Palestinians set fire to tyres while Israeli troops used tear gas.
The Israeli military said one protester was arrested. In East Jerusalem about 60 people demonstrated near the walled Old City, where paramilitary border police and officers on horseback tried to disperse the crowd with tear gas.
Six demonstrators were arrested and two officers were injured by stones, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Across the Arab and Muslim worlds, thousands more protesters had gathered to express solidarity.
A possible meeting with Pence has also been turned down by Egypt?s Coptic Church, MENA state news agency reported on Saturday. The Turkish presidential source said Erdogan and Macron agreed during a phone call that Trump?s move was worrying for the region and that Turkey and France would make a joint effort to try to reverse the US decision.
Erdogan also spoke to the presidents of Kazakhstan, Lebanon and Azerbaijan on Saturday, the source said. A senior United Arab Emirates (UAE) official said on Saturday that Trump?s move was a boon to radicals.?These issues are a gift to radicalism. Radicals and extremists will use that to fan the language of hate,? Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said at the Manama Dialogue security conference in Bahrain.
