Thousands of Palestinians protest for 4th Friday in a row over US policy

Thousands of Palestinians protested for the fourth Friday this month against the US president's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital. 

Protesters marched on the streets in Gaza and the West Bank, chanting “Death to America, death to Israel, and death to Trump”.

According to local health officials at least 50 Palestinians have been injured by live fire by Israeli troops. 

Mr Trump's decision has been widely condemned internationally, with the UN General Assembly on passing resolution December 21, condemning the US decision, with 128 states voting in favour of the resolution and 9 against. Thirty-five states abstained, 21 did not vote.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
