TAPPER: We have more breaking news in our world lead today. Turkey just announced it is recalling its ambassadors to the United States and to Israel because of the deadly violence in Gaza. A spokesperson for the Turkish embassy says they do not know yet how long this recall will last. This comes after scores of Palestinians were killed by Israeli security forces when the Palestinians tried to cross the border into Israel. It is the deadliest day in the region since 2014. The deadly violence happened while President Trump's daughter and son- in-law were attending the opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, something President Trump had promised he would do on the campaign trail, move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. CNN's Kaitlan Collins from the White House filed this report.</s>KAITLAN COLLINS, CNN WHITE HOUSE REPORTER (voice-over): For President Trump, it was a day of ceremony and celebration, as he fulfilled a signature campaign promise.</s>DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Today, we officially opened the United States embassy in Jerusalem. Congratulations. It's been a long time coming.</s>COLLINS: The move upending decades of American foreign policy and handing Israel a long sought victory.

Smoke, sirens and teargas filled the air as Israeli soldiers tried to keep protesters from entering Israeli territory. Palestinians who also believe Jerusalem should be the capital of any future Palestinian state are furious at the U.S. move, and said it shows the U.S. cannot be a fair broker in the peace process. The White House is blaming Hamas for their deaths.
