Israeli officials have named Mahmoud al-Masri, 30, as one of two Palestinians shot dead by Israeli troops in Gaza amid a day of violence. The army confirmed it had shot two people along the border, accusing them of being 'main instigators' of 'violent riots'. Hundreds more have been injured in clashes with police in West Bank, Bethlehem and Jerusalem with tear gas and rubber bullets used to disperse crowds. Demonstrations have also taken place around the world, including in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Kashmir today in response to Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said today that plans to move America's embassy to Jerusalem are unlikely to be acted on for at least two years.
