Palestinian protest rally in Rome draws crowd

Hundreds of Palestinians and their supporters rallied in Rome on Saturday to protest US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the American Embassy there.

 

The protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Rome also drew American citizens.

 

Some Italian demonstrators expressed dismay that Italy's top cycling race Giro d'Italia will start next year in Jerusalem.

 

Other protesters held Palestinian flags, and some shouted slogans against Israel. One participant held a sign reading, "Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the State of Palestine."
