Jerusalemites feel 'betrayed' by America

MEE Correspondent Lubna Masarwa is on the ground in Jerusalem.

She's speaking to Palestinians who are protesting outside the Old City in East Jerusalem. 

Dauod, 27, who lives in the Old City, told MEE he felt "betrayed by the Arab nations and the whole world".

"England promised our land Palestine to the Jewish people and America gave Jerusalem to Israel," said Daoud. 

"We don't rely on anyone even our leadership. It's on us, the Palestinian people to not be silent on all of this. We will lead the struggle. You saw that in the crises of the Aqsa last summer and you will see what will happen now."
