At least two Palestinians were killed and hundreds more wounded across the West Bank and Gaza, medical sources said Friday, as angry demonstrators took to the streets in another “day of rage” against President Trump’s controversial recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The Palestinian Health Ministry’s spokesman in Gaza said in a statement to Palestinian state news operator WAFA that two people had been killed in clashes with Israeli forces. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said earlier that it had treated about 331 wounded in the West Bank and Gaza, 13 of whom had been shot with live bullets. Israel, which annexed East Jerusalem during the 1967 war, claims that the city cannot be divided and is its capital. The agreement was renewed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in 2013.
