Tens of thousands of Palestinians protested the opening of the American embassy, on a day that also marked 70 years since Israel's creation.

The U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, praised "the vision, the courage and the moral clarity" of President Trump in making the U.S. the first country to open an embassy in the disputed city.

David Friedman tells NPR's Morning Edition that the question of Jerusalem was "an inappropriate card" for the Palestinians to play and that taking it off the table will advance negotiations.

The attack, targeting Iran's elite Quds Force, follows what Israel says was an Iranian missile strike against its forces.

Obama foreign policy adviser Colin Kahl was reportedly targeted by the Israeli company Black Cube: "It's especially awful that they not only went after me, but that they went after my family."

Former inspectors say documents obtained by the Israeli government may prompt a fresh look at the nation's nuclear sites.

As President Trump considers withdrawing from the Iran accord, Israel says files show Iran concealed its nuclear ambitions. But the U.K., France and Germany say they always knew that — hence the deal.

More than 40 Palestinians are dead after weeks of protests on the Gaza-Israel border, where Israeli troops have sometimes used live fire — including on Friday, when some protesters rushed a fence.
