Israel embassy move exposes self-seeking US
Editor's note: The United States moved its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on Monday despite the fierce opposition from Arab and other countries. Violent clashes between Palestinian protestors and Israeli soldiers were reported from eastern Gaza Strip close to the border with Israel throughout the day, in which at least 58 Palestinians were killed and more than 2,700 injured. Three experts share their views with China Daily's Zhang Zhouxiang on the issue. Excerpts follow:

And after Donald Trump entered the White House, the US has increasingly supported its allies that share its ideology. As its traditional ally and essentially a Western country, Israel has occupied center stage in Trump's Middle East policy.
