Upward of sixty casualties with about 2,771 wounded after Israeli troops opened fire with live ammo and tear gas at the Gaza-Israel border reported Gaza's Health Ministry.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas portrayed Monday's occasions as a "massacre," however Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, "every country has an obligation to defend its borders."
As the dissents occurred some 60 miles away, the US was opening its embassy in Jerusalem, attended by U.S President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner.
Trump addressed the ceremony via videolink and tweeted to say it was a "big day for Israel."
Big day for Israel. Congratulations!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 14, 2018

New protests were expected Tuesday for Nakba Day, or Catastrophe Day, which honors the 700,000 Palestinians who were compelled to leave their homes in the war that took after the state of Israel being created. A general strike that normally happens crosswise over East Jerusalem and the West Bank was relied upon to be watched broadly this year, to check a long time since Nakba, and little conflicts have occurred in the West Bank.
Meanwhile Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Israel Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu
drag each other on Twitter.
Netanyahu is the PM of an apartheid state that has occupied a defenseless people's lands for 60+ yrs in violation of UN resolutions.— Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (@RT_Erdogan) May 15, 2018
He has the blood of Palestinians on his hands and can't cover up crimes by attacking Turkey.
Want a lesson in humanity? Read the 10 commandments.
Erdogan is among Hamas's biggest supporters and there is no doubt that he well understands terrorism and slaughter. I suggest that he not preach morality to us— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) May 15, 2018
Reminder to Netanyahu:— Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (@RT_Erdogan) May 15, 2018
Hamas is not a terrorist organization and Palestinians are not terrorists.
It is a resistance movement that defends the Palestinian homeland against an occupying power.
The world stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine against their oppressors.
