Israel police arrest a Palestinian during a protest against U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in Jerusalem, Saturday, Dec.9, 2017. The Arab League meeting, which brings together foreign ministers from member states, is taking place as protests continued for the third consecutive day in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Their comments ranged from blasting Trump’s decision to the need for concrete action to musings on whether fiery speeches would change anything. Bassil also called for an emergency Arab summit, a proposition that’s said to have been embraced by several Arab league member-states. Trump’s decision, he said, “betrays its hostility and bias against the Palestinian people.”Copyright 2017 The Associated Press.
