Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas condemned Israeli massacres along the Gaza border after Israeli occupation forces killed 52 Palestinians during clashes and protests Monday coinciding with the opening of the US embassy in the occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Abbas, who declared three days of mourning, also said “the US is no longer a mediator in the Middle East,” and the new embassy was tantamount to “a new American settler outpost” in the occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

The United States officially opened its Jerusalem embassy on Monday in a ceremony that included a video address by President Donald Trump.
