The Jerusalem municipality on Wednesday projected the US and Israeli flags onto the walls of the Old City in a show of appreciation over the US President Donald Trump’s expected recognition of the city as the capital of Israel. From 7 p.m., the red, white, and blue American banner was projected next to the blue and white of the Israeli flag, celebrating the expected announcement. The flags were screened on the 16th century walls from Jaffa Gate in the direction of Mount Zion. In addition, the Calatrava Bridge of Strings that carries the light rail train over the entrance to Jerusalem was decorated in red, white and blue. Hamas, meanwhile, said the announcement has opened the gates of hell on US interests in the region and was a flagrant aggression against the Palestinian people. Hamas called on Arabs and Muslims to undermine the US interests in the region and to shun Israel.
