Palestinians run as they are removed by Israeli forces from Jerusalem flashpoint the al-Aqsa mosque compound after clashes early on Friday, according to witnesses and the police. Violent clashes over the past two weeks have left more than 200 Palestinians injured in and around the compound, raising fears of further escalation between Palestinians and Israelis. IMAGES
The United States criticizes Israel's far-right national security minister for leading prayers at the flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound, saying he has hurt efforts for talks toward a Gaza ceasefire. "Not only is it unacceptable, it detracts from what we think is a vital time, as we are working to get this ceasefire deal across the finish line," State Department spokesman Vedant Patel tells reporters.
