​Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent said that 130 Palestinians got medical assistance in the West Bank.

Trump made a decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on December 6. The move triggered protests in the Muslim nations across the Middle East and led to clashes between Israeli army and Palestinians, in particular.
