Palestine is recalling its envoy to the United States for consultations, weeks after President Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Protests and clashes broke out in the Gaza Strip after the announcement, with 13 Palestinians killed so far - mostly in clashes with Israeli forces.

Palestine's president says he will not accept any US peace plan.

A UN resolution calling on the US to cancel Trump's decision was backed overwhelmingly by the General Assembly.

Israel occupied the east of the city - previously occupied by Jordan - in the 1967 Middle East war, and regards the entire city as its indivisible capital.

But the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state, and its final status is meant to be discussed in the latter stages of peace talks.
