Over 600 Palestinians detained since Trump announced al-Quds as Israel capital
Over 600 Palestinians have been detained by the Tel Aviv regime forces since Washington's move to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as the Israeli capital.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society on Tuesday, 610 Palestinians, including 170 minors, 12 women and three injured people have been arrested during the three weeks since US President Donald Trump made his announcement.
The group noted that on Tuesday alone at least 24 Palestinians were arrested during pre-dawn raids across the West Bank.
It added that according to official UN figures, between December 5 and the 18, Israeli forces engaged in 162 search and arrest operations throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Israeli regime has long been conducting daily incursions into Gaza and in the vicinity of the so-called buffer zone, which is located on both land and sea sides of the Gaza Strip.
On December 6, Trump announced his decision to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s capital and relocate the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds.

On December 21, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution that calls on the US to withdraw its controversial recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as the Israeli “capital.”
In an attempt to avert the resolution, Trump had warned that “we’re watching,” threatening reprisals against countries that back the measure, which earlier faced a US veto at the UN Security Council.
