The paper, citing Palestinian officials, said that while Trump's peace envoys have been shunned by the PA, diplomatic channels remain open, and were never severed.

The UN agency, founded in 1949 to aid Palestinian refugees, provides educational and health services in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The Russian Foreign Ministry added that Israel's steps undermined the prospects for the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the two-state solution principle.

Three other Palestinians were wounded, one critically, it said.

Tensions were already high ahead of Friday's protests after two 16-year-old Palestinians were killed in clashes with the IDF on Thursday.

Israeli forces in the West Bank searched for a suspect in the shooting death last Tuesday of an Israeli settler.

It said Russian Federation confirmed its "principled position" on the illegality of Israeli settlement activity in the Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem.

Israeli settlements violate the Fourth Geneva Convention, which states that an occupying power can not transfer its population into the territory it occupies.

Trump's December 6 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital infuriated the Palestinian leadership, who see East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state they have sought to gain through American-led negotiations.

The Jerusalem and Ramallah EU missions expressed "deep concern regarding the circumstances of the recent arrests of two Palestinian minors, Ahed Tamimi and Fawzi Muhammad al-Juneidi", a statement read.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem at the end of the 1967 war with Syria, Egypt and Jordan; the western half of the holy city had been captured in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.

The Israeli occupation of the West Bank is viewed as illegal under worldwide law and the UN Security Council regards the country as an occupying power. At that meeting, senior Palestinian leaders will debate responses to Trump's announcement on Jerusalem.
