Protests against the U.S. Jerusalem decision. Protests took place Friday around the world in reaction to U.S. President Donald Trump's decision this week to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

VOA's Jeff Caster reports.

Along with Israel in the West Bank, demonstrations were reported Friday in among other nations Iraq, Somalia, Turkey, Pakistan and Indonesia - the world's most populous Muslim majority country. Protesters in Jakarta marched on the U.S. embassy, carrying anti-Trump signs and chanting slogans.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian man was killed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza Friday during clashes in a day of rage called for by Palestinians after the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during a news briefing in Paris insisted Trump's decision still leave room for peace negotiations.

"I think with respect to the rest of Jerusalem, the president indicated in his statement that his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and his direction to the State Department to begin the process of moving the embassy did not indicate any final status for Jerusalem."

Israel considers all of Jerusalem to be its capital. Palestinians claim the eastern part of Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged Saudi Arabia Friday to curb its military intervention in Yemen, a country in the throes of a humanitarian crisis triggered by a two-year civil war.

"We would encourage them to be a bit more measured and a bit more thoughtful," Tillerson said of Saudi Arabia.
