A Palestinian protester uses a road sign to move a flaming tyre during clashes with Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Ramallah as demonstrations continue to flare in the Middle East and elsewhere. AFP
A fifth day of angry protests was expected in the Middle East on Monday over US President Donald Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, as Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas visited Cairo for crisis talks
Abbas will refuse to meet with US Vice President Mike Pence when he visits the region later this month, Palestinian officials say, a move that led Washington to accuse the Palestinian leader of “walking away” from a chance to discuss peace
In Ramallah, Palestinians threw stones at Israeli soldiers in the latest such clash. Palestinian demonstrations have declined in number and intensity since reaching a peak on Friday, but there are concerns they will again increase later this week
