Protests Erupt Worldwide over Trump Decision on Jerusalem
---------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere, protests against the Trump administration's decision on
Jerusalem raged in cities around the world over the weekend. In Lebanon,
security forces fired tear gas at protesters outside the U.S. Embassy
north of Beirut. There were other large protests in Indonesia, Egypt,
Jordan, Somalia and Morocco, as well as U.S. cities including New York
and San Francisco. In France, hundreds protested in central Paris as
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was welcomed by French
President Emmanuel Macron. Macron called President Trump's recognition
of Jerusalem a "threat to peace" and urged Netanyahu to freeze
construction of illegal Jewish-only settlements.
