Palestinians plan protests.


According to some Palestinians, it is an incitement to call Jerusalem the capital of Israel.  Palestinians are planning major protests against Trump’s peace plan.  Protests are planned to take place on Monday in Ramallah, and then throughout other Palestinian communities in the coming days and weeks. 

Iranian President Rouhani visited Switzerland to strengthen the two countries’ cooperation in banking, trade, science, and other areas.  They agreed on a number of things, which included maintaining the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement.  While Swizz President Alain Berset discussed the importance of recognizing Israel, Rouhani made it clear that Iran considers the “Zionist regime illegitimate.”  Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is planning to meet with President Rouhani in Vienna tomorrow on July 4th.  The plan has been called into question and even opposed by the Simon Wiesenthal Center.  It criticized Kurz for courting with an anti-Semitic regime.
