Indonesians protest US recognition of Jerusalem as capital
None
Thousands of Indonesian Muslims staged a rally Friday protesting President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, ahead of next week's US Embassy relocation to the city.
About 5,000 people flocked to Jakarta's landmark National Monument and unfurled Indonesian and Palestinian flags.
On Monday, the US plans to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, five months after Trump recognized it as Israel's capital. Palestinians also claim it as their capital.
"We, the Muslims, oppose all forms of colonialism and oppression of the Palestinians," said a speaker standing on the top of a car, greeted with shouts of "Allahu Akbar" (God is great).
