BEIRUT (Dispatches) – Clashes erupted between Lebanese security forces and people protesting U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of al-Quds as the" capital" of the Zionist regime.
Police used water cannon and tear gas to disperse the protesters who have gathered outside the U.S. embassy in Beirut.
Trump sparked international outrage on Wednesday when he declared that the U.S. was recognizing al-Quds as the "capital” of the occupying regime and that he had instructed his administration to begin the process of moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to the ancient city.
Elsewhere across the world, protesters gathered outside the American mission in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, and many other cities in the world's most populous Muslim country.
In Jakarta, protesters unfurled Indonesian and Palestinian flags and held banners reading, ''Free Jerusalem and Palestinians," "U.S. Embassy, Get Out from al-Quds" and "We are with the Palestinians."
A statement from the Prosperous Justice Party denounced Trump's decision as "a form of humiliation and provocation against Muslims all over the world."
In the Palestinian territories, the Fatah party called on the nation not to give up their demonstrations against Washington's new policy on al-Quds.
In a statement, Fatah said the Palestinians should "keep up confrontation and broaden it to all points where the Israeli army is present" in the West Bank.
The appeal came after Zionist war minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Sunday he hoped the anger that erupted in Palestinian protests was abating.
"Our hope is that everything is calming down and that we are returning to a path of normal life without riots and without violence," Lieberman told Army Radio.
Additionally Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's diplomatic adviser Majdi al-Khaldi told AFP that there would be no meeting with U.S. Vice Mike Pence due later this month.
"The United States has crossed all the red lines with the Jerusalem decision," Khalid said.
Palestinians came out in force in the Gaza Strip to protest U.S. recognition of al-Quds as the regime’s "capital,” burning the pictures of American and Saudi heads of state.
The rally, organized by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), drew thousands in the besieged enclave to protest the most serious inroad in recent years to the third holiest site in Islam. 
The protesters set fire to American and Zionist flags as well as the portraits and effigies of U.S. President Donald Trump, and tore up pictures of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, Palestinian Samanews website reported.
Islamic Hamas movement's military wing Al-Qassam brigades called Sunday for the continuation of the "uprising and activating all means in resisting and confronting the occupation" in rejection of the U.S. decision.
Al-Qassam Brigades said in an official statement sent to reporters "we call upon our people to continue this intifada, and to activate all means of resisting and confronting the occupation."
The statement warned that "the enemy will pay the bill of an arduous expense for the aggression, treachery and criminality against our people," adding "the coming days will prove to the enemy its great error and its misjudgment of the will and determination of the armed resistance."
In Afghanistan, protesters took to the streets in the eastern city of Jalalabad, shouting slogans against the U.S. and the Zionist regime as they burned a Trump effigy.
Egyptian universities were also the scene of angry demonstrations.
Lebanon's foreign minister told an emergency Arab League meeting that imposing economic sanctions should be considered against the U.S. over its embassy relocation move.
"Preemptive measures (must be) taken against the decision... beginning with diplomatic measures, then political, then economic and financial sanctions," said Gebran Bassil during an Arab League meeting held in Cairo on Saturday.
"Could this calamity bring us together and wake us from our slumber? Let it be known that history will never forgive us and our future will not be proud of what we have done,” added Bassil.
Arab League chief Ahmed Aboul-Gheit also called on world nations to recognize the State of Palestine with East al-Quds as its capital.
He added that Trump’s decision raised a question over Washington’s role as a peace mediator, not just in Palestine but the whole world. "The decision amounts to the legalization of occupation,” he added.
"The decision by the US administration is in its essence legitimizing the occupation and admitting and allowing their stance by force. It is a waste of international legitimacy and the principles of justice, and therefore has placed he who took (the decision) in a state of conflict with the collective will of the international community," he stressed.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki called on members of the league to instruct their UN envoys to submit a draft resolution to Security Council to condemn Trump’s decision, which "betrays its hostility and bias against the Palestinian people.”
He also called on world nations to recognize the State of Palestine with East al-Quds as its capital.
