The Palestinian movement Hamas announced the beginning of the third intifada after the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, told RIA Novosti on Tuesday, press secretary of the movement Abdulativ Alkanu.

"We announced the beginning of the third intifada so that the protests would continue and to press the US to cancel their decision." In the Gaza Strip, protests are growing within the intifada, this is the third intifada, "Alkanu said.
He promised a new "Day of Wrath" against the decision of America.

"Protests will continue in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem, because we are protesting against the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, since we consider it the capital of Palestine." We hope that protests will develop further and further " , - the press-secretary has told.

The first Palestinian intifada (1987-1991) was the struggle of the Palestinians against the Israeli occupation of the territories conquered during the Six-Day War of 1967. In 2000, the second "intifada" began, the reason for which was the visit to the Premier of Israel by Ariel Sharon and a group of his supporters of the Temple Mount. Later, the second "intifada" went into decline, but the situation in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is still unstable.
