More than 200 Lebanese and Palestinians held a protest Sunday near the US Embassy in Lebanon against the White House's plan for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Protesters waving Palestinian flags gathered on a road leading to the embassy northeast of Beirut as Lebanese troops and riot police provided tight security.

"Death to America! Death to Israel! We will die and Palestine survive," some of the demonstrators chanted.
Around noon, the protesters removed the barbed wire and reached a metal fence set up by security forces. Police used what appeared to be pepper spray to hold back some of the demonstrators who were on the fence, with at least three protesters being carried away.
Later in the day, the protesters dispersed from the area without any serious clashes, apart from some stone throwing at security forces.
On Saturday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas declared he was cutting security ties with both Israel and the US in a speech at an Arab League meeting in response to the US plan.
Lebanon is home to tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees and their descendants. There have been protests in the country's 12 refugee camps since US President Donald Trump unveiled the proposal in Washington.
