Text on image: “Continue the confrontation and escalation
The PLO factions, institutions, and activists of the Nablus district invite you
To say the Friday prayers
The Friday of defiance and determination
As a sign of emphasizing Jerusalem’s Arabness
And as a sign of rejecting the American decision [declaring Jerusalem Israel’s capital]
Date: Feb. 2, 2018
Place: Al-Shuhada Square
Jerusalem is Arab and the capital of the Palestinian capital
It is not subject to extortion, threats, or intimidation”

US recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel - On Dec. 6, 2017, US President Donald Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and instructed the State Department to begin preparations to transfer the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Trump added that the final borders of Jerusalem will be determined during negotiations.
