Israeli Troops Shoot Palestinian Teen to Death in Protest Against Trump's Middle East Plan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Israeli troops shot dead a
17-year-old Palestinian teen Wednesday during a protest in the city of
Hebron against President Trump's Middle East plan. Mohammed al-Haddad is
the first Palestinian killed in demonstrations that erupted after Trump
unveiled his plan last week. Under the plan, drafted by Trump's
son-in-law Jared Kushner without any input from Palestinians, Israel
would gain sovereignty over large areas of the occupied West Bank,
Jerusalem would be under total Israeli control, and all Jewish settlers
in the occupied territory would be allowed to remain in their homes.
