Jerusalem al-Quds is Palestine: Chile protesters to Trump

Chileans have staged a large rally in the capital, Santiago, in protest at US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as the “capital” of Israel.

Around 2,000 people demonstrated in front of the US embassy in the capital, waving Palestinian flags and holding banners reading “Trump, Jerusalem [al-Quds] is Palestine.”

Police used water cannon to disperse the protesters, who blocked city streets.

The rally was organized by members of Chile’s Palestinian community, one of the largest in Latin America.
