16 May 2018 – <\/em>The United States has formally opened<\/a> its embassy in Jerusalem amid deadly protests<\/a> in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

The move on Monday followed a December 2017 decision by US President Donald Trump<\/a> to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and relocate the US mission there from Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

Trump’s controversial declaration was widely condemned by the international community, with the United Nations General Assembly rejecting by a huge majority<\/a> the\u00a0US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.<\/p>\n

Most countries say the status of Jerusalem – a sacred city to Jews, Muslims and Christians – should be determined in a final peace settlement and that moving their embassies now would pre-judge any such deal.<\/p>\n

Israel’s foreign ministry said all 86 countries with diplomatic missions in Israel<\/a> were invited to the embassy opening, and 33 confirmed attendance. However, the Nigerian, Vietnamese, and Thai representatives did not attend as it reported.<\/p>\n
