Dozens kills and thousands protesters injured in Gaza, after the opening of US embassy in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is perhaps the most contested city in History and since the end of the Second World War, both Israelis and Palestinians claim it as their state's capital. The new headquarters of the American embassy were opened yesterday in Jerusalem, a move praised by Israel but condemned by Palestinians who have gathered for mass protests. There were dozens of dead and over 2000 injured Palestinians on the Gaza Strip. Michele Giorgio, from Il Manifesto from Jerusalem, has more.
