The various Arab and Islamic groups have declared that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be ‘Days of Rage’. They made their announcement ahead of President Trump’s final decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
They called for violence and riots throughout Israel and specifically in front of the US Consulate.
“The national and Islamic forces: ‘We declare Wednesday, Thursday and Friday days popular outrage throughout Palestine and in front of the U.S. Consulate refused to any resolution that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli occupation.'”
