Security forces threw tear gas and water launchers to force the deterrence of protesters with flags on their hands. During the night, the Arab League also condemned the decision of the United States. According to her, the US can no longer be considered a peace mediator in the Middle East.
Protesters, who came close to the embassy in the northern Akar area of Beirut, threw stones and lit fires in the streets.
Security forces established barricades on the main road leading to the major diplomatic complex.
But this was not the only demonstration, as numerous people also protested outside the American Embassy in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, some of them with banners reading “Palestina is in our hearts”.
An object on fire has also been thrown into a synagogue in Gottenburg, Sweden, late Saturday hours, in what Swedish police said was a failed attempt to fire. Jewish community leader Allan Stutzinsky said recent events are leading to “biggest threats”.
