Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian Authority's UN ambassador, has condemned Israeli strikes on unarmed Palestinians in Gaza.
Speaking at a press conference in New York, Mansour described America's decision to open its embassy in Jerusalem as "very tragic."
"We will use all of our available rights in the security council to see it shouldering its responsibility to condemn this massacre and bring those responsible to justice," said Mansour.
"Very tragic that they (America) are celebrating illegal action while Israel is injuring and killing thousands of Palestinians."
"Tragic day for Palestinians and shame on those who ignore the pain and suffering of the Palestinian people."
