A Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli soldiers near the Gaza border, in the second day of widespread disturbances across the Arab world.

The Israeli army said hundreds of Palestinians were rolling burning tyres and throwing rocks at soldiers across the border as the world reacts to Donald Trump's decision and plans to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. 

It said in a statement: ”During the riots IDF soldiers fired selectively towards two main instigators and hits were confirmed.”

More than 80 Palestinians were wounded in during disturbances in the occupied West Bank and Gaza with Israeli troops firing live rounds and rubber bullets, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service. Dozens more suffered from tear gas inhalation.

And 31 people were wounded on Thursday.

Worshippers at Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa mosque made their way to the walled Old City gates after Friday prayers, chanting "Jerusalem is ours, Jerusalem is our capital," and "We don't need empty words, we need stones and Kalashnikovs".

Some minor scuffles broke out between protesters and police.

In Hebron, Bethlehem and Nablus, dozens of Palestinians threw stones at Israeli soldiers who fired back with tear gas.

Islamist group Hamas has called for a protest and uprising similar to the “intifadas” of 1987-1993 and 2000-2005 which saw thousands of Palestinians and over 1,000 Israelis killed during the troubles.

Hamas leader Fathy Hammad said: "Whoever moves his embassy to occupied Jerusalem will become an enemy of the Palestinians and a target of Palestinian factions.

“We declare an intifada until the liberation of Jerusalem and all of Palestine."

The latest protests were sparked after US President Donald Trump announced that America recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The status of the city has been a highly contentious obstacle for securing a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian people for generations.

Israel considers all of Jerusalem to be its capital. Palestinians want the eastern part of the city as the capital of a future independent state of their own. 

Most of the international community has held back from recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, including Washington, until Mr Trump’s recent pronouncement.

Mr Trump has also noted that Barack Obama, George W Bush and Bill Clinton all promised as candidates to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital: "I fulfilled my campaign promise - others didn't!" Trump tweeted on Friday with a video montage of campaign speeches on the issue by the three predecessors.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Friday it would still be up to the Israelis and Palestinians to hammer out all other issues surrounding the city in future talks.

He said: ”With respect to the rest of Jerusalem, the president ... did not indicate any final status for Jerusalem. He was very clear that the final status, including the borders, would be left to the two parties to negotiate and decide."

In Ramallah, the seat of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Authority, the leader's religious affairs adviser said Trump's stance was an affront to Islam and Christianity alike.

"America has chosen to elect a President that has put it in enmity with all Muslims and Christians," said the advisor, Mahmoud al-Habbash.

In Iran, which has never recognised Israel and supports anti-Israel militants, demonstrators burned pictures of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while chanting "Death to the Devil".

Opposition to the US move has united Iran's pragmatist faction, which supports greater openness to the outside world, behind hardliners that oppose it.

In Cairo, capital of Egypt, a US ally which has a peace treaty with Israel, hundreds of protesters who had gathered in Al-Azhar mosque and outside in its courtyard chanted "Jerusalem is Arab! O Trump, you madman, the Arab people are everywhere!"

Large demonstrations also took place in Jordan, Tunisia, Somalia, Yemen, Malaysia and Indonesia.
