Embassy opening spurs deadliest day in Gaza for years

The opening of America's new Israeli embassy in Jerusalem has spurred the deadliest day in Gaza since 2014. Officials say more than 50 Palestinians have been killed in clashes near the Israeli border. Meanwhile, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has thanked US President Donald Trump for following through on his convictions and pressing ahead with the move. In comments likely to anger Palestinians further, he described Jerusalem as the eternal and undivided capital of Israel.
