Hundreds of Jordanians took to the streets on Monday to protest the "provocative" opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

The protesters, including representatives of several political parties, gathered near the U.S. embassy in the capital Amman, where they burned U.S. and Israeli flags.

"This is a reckless move by the U.S. that will only increase the tension," a demonstrator told Xinhua.

"We are here to send our message to the world that East Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine. There can be no peace without this," he said.
