US President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital sparked Palestinian protests, clashes and a call for a new intifada on Thursday as fears grew of fresh bloodshed in the region. The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, held a rally in the Gaza Strip, with one of its members warning anyone trying to "tamper" with Muslim holy sites to "beware of the anger of al-Qassam and Hamas."
