Hamas leader calls on Palestinians to rise up against Israel

Palestinian Hamas leader Ismail Haniya has called for a new Arab uprising over the US decision on Jerusalem.

He declared Friday a "day of rage" and an uprising against Israel under the slogan "freedom for Jerusalem and the West Bank".

Leader Haniya affirmed that the city remains the unified capital of all Palestinians.

Hamas leader calls on Arab countries to cancel cooperation with Washington and Donald Trump will regret his decision.

The US President announced the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and signed a document ordering the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to this city.

The Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation from 1987 to 1991 was known as the First Intifada. It ended in 1994 with the establishment of Palestinian self-government.

The second intifada began in 2000 after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his supporters visited the Temple Mount. The intifada later collapsed, but the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone remained unstable.
