REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, AMMAN -- The Indonesian Embassy in Amman, Jordan, has urged the country's citizens planning to visit Palestine to suspend their plans until situation in the country returned to normal.
According to a press release from the Embassy in Amman, received by Antara here on Friday, the situation in Palestine is currently rather inconducive following Israel's decision to move its capital city from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Tensions further escalated as US President Donald Trump announced that the country had recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital city and planned to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
On the west coast of Palestine, including in the cities of Hebron and Al-Bireh, thousands of protesters were heard shouting slogans "Jerusalem is Palestine's capital city." Several Palestinians were also seen pelting stones at the Israeli army.
At least 31 people were wounded from the gunshots fired by the Israeli army during the protest by Palestinian civilians that took place on Thursday on the west coast of Palestine and the Gaza strip that is being occupied by Israel.
On the Gaza strip, dozens of opponents were seen gathering along the border fence between Palestine and Israel and pelting stones at the army personnel on the other side.
Palestinian officials have urged the public to hold mass rallies to oppose US President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital city, which he announced on Wednesday.
The Indonesian Embassy in Amman, Jordan, has also urged Indonesian nationals currently living in Palestine to leave the country as soon as possible.
