Thousands protest 100 days since Trump's Jerusalem decision

Thousands of Palestinian refugees took part in a Hamas-sponsored event in Sidon marking that 100 days had passed since U.S. President Donald Trump decided to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The widely scorned decision to recognize occupied Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the U.S. embassy to the contested city has become a “weak point” of U.S. foreign policy, Hamas’ political leader in Lebanon Ahmad Abd al-Hadi told a crowd of people attending the rally.
