US President Trump threatened to cut aid to Palestinians, including UNRWA, in response to fury over Jerusalem. The US is the largest donor to UNRWA and ending its aid could have a particularly damaging effect in Gaza.
Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian man near the Gaza border while dozens of others were wounded on the "Day of Rage." A second person later died of his wounds, a Gaza hospital official said.
Muslims in the West Bank and Occupied East Jerusalem staged protests as Friday prayers were meant to start. They are opposed to Israel's installation of metal detectors at the Al Aqsa Mosque complex.

Fourteen Palestinian worshippers, including the Imam of Al Aqsa, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, were injured after being attacked by Israeli police during the third day of protests at the holy compound in Occupied East Jerusalem.
