Israeli police kill Palesintian in Jerusalem's Old City

Israeli police said they shot and killed a Palestinian who opened fire at forces in Jerusalem's Old City, lightly wounding an officer.

A spike in Israeli-Palestinian violence has followed on a week after the Trump administration released its long-anticipated Mideast plan.

The new spate of attacks places the plan - which was already considered a long-shot because it greatly favors Israel and was rejected outright by the Palestinians - on even shakier ground, and sparked fears of a return to deadly rounds of violence of the past.

The plan has sparked calls by Israeli nationalists for Israel to annex parts of the West Bank - land Palestinians want for their hoped-for state - and has set off tensions in the region.
