Trump declares a ‘great day’ for Israel despite deadly clashes

Amid deadly clashes, President Trump has declared the opening on the US embassy a 'great day' for Israel. His daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner led the US delegation celebrating the opening of the new embassy in Jerusalem. The decision reverses decades of American foreign policy by recognising the city as the Israeli capital, and comes despite warnings that tensions could flare in occupied territories across the Middle East.
