Evening round-up

Good evening from London,

Here's a quick round-up of all the day's events as tensions intensified throughout the day:

► Palestinians were forced to evacuate their homes in the Aida refugee camp after volleys of tear gas was fired by Israeli soldiers 

► The US stood alone as the world condemned America for its actions at the UN Security Council session on Jerusalem 

►300 Palestinians were reported injured across West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem during 'day of rage'

►One Palestinian man was killed in the Southern Gaza town of Khan Younis after being injured with an Israeli rubber bullet 

► Tens of thousands across the globe came out against Trump's Jerusalem decision. 

For analysis check out:

► Suraj Sharma's piece on why Iraqi Kurds have been silent on Trump's Jerusalem move.

► Noura Erakat on how Trump has ended the US double-speak on Middle East 'Peace'.

► Arwa Ibrahim on whether the US has always been an 'honest' broker. 

Until next time, stay tuned for continuous updates from our correspondents and MEE's US team.
