The tribesmen staged protest rally against recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital by US President Donald Trump here at Bab-e-Khyber, Tehsil Jamrud in Khyber Agency on Friday. Dozens of tribal elders along with political workers and members of civic society while chanting slogans against America and Israel and in favour of Palestine state hold the rally from the Tehsil building to Bab-e-Khyber where it converted into a public gathering.
Addressing to the angry mob Malik Salahuddin, Malik Ismael Koki Khel and Said Kabir said that the decision of American President Trump to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel and shifting of US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem hurt sentiments of millions of Muslims and urged the Muslim countries to take immediate steps to force America to withdraw this decision.

They demanded of the government to shut the US embassy in Islamabad and ask the American ambassador to leave the country as soon as possible.
