| Israel doubling troop deployments ahead of US embassy opening | |

| [PRESSTV] The Israeli military has announced that it will be doubling the number of forces around the Gazoo Strip and in occupied West Bank territories ahead of the controversial opening of a US embassy in Jerusalem al-Quds. An Israeli army spokesperson on Saturday said that three additional infantry brigades will be deployed ahead of the embassy's opening, two surrounding the Gazoo Strip and one in the West Bank. He added that the fresh additions will be nearly twice as many as the number of troops currently deployed. The spokesperson noted that the number of troops in Jerusalem will not change, as responding to protests is the responsibility of the police. US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... has announced that he will not be taking part in the opening ceremony in al-Quds on Monday, but his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner will be present. Hundreds of thousands of Paleostinians are expected to hold massive protests along the fence between the Gazoo Strip and the occupied territories on the day of the US embassy relocation. The rally, which will cap several weeks of deadly protests in the coastal enclave, coincides with the 70th anniversary of Nakba Day (Day of Catastrophe), when Israel was created in 1948. At least 52 unarmed Paleostinian protesters have been killed by Israeli live fire since the protests began on March 30. Earlier in the day, thousands of protesters in Jordan, ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... and Indonesia staged rallies to condemn the US decision to relocate its Israeli embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
