Protesters in south Lebanon rally against Trump's Jerusalem decision

Hundreds of people gather in the South Lebanese city of Sidon to mark the passing of one hundred days on Friday, March 16, since US president Donald Trump's controversial decision to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's "capital."

The Palestinians seek Jerusalem al-Quds as their future capital and view Trump's decision as siding with Israel on one of the thorniest issues at the heart of the conflict.

Palestinian officials say the move disqualifies Washington from its traditional role as Mideast peace broker. Palestinians have held regular protests since Trump's Dec. 6 declaration, often clashing with Israeli forces.
