On Friday, protesters took to the streets of Jerusalem, several cities in the West Bank, and Jordan as anger reignited over United States President Donald Trump's controversial decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. According to a report by CNN, in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli security forces as hundreds demonstrated outside the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Extra police officers were deployed to control crowds and metal security barriers were erected around the Damascus Gate entrance to Jerusalem's Old City, which has often become a flashpoint for protests.
