US President Joe Biden calls for calm as he denounces rhetoric of ‘extremist protestors’ who targeted Palestinians.
Israeli police scuffled with Palestinians for a second night on Friday in occupied East Jerusalem, amid mounting tensions over a ban on gatherings and anger fuelled by videos posted of attacks. The fresh violence came after clashes overnight Thursday, in which the Palestinian Red Crescent reported at least 105 wounded, of whom approximately 20 were transferred to hospital, while the Israeli police said 20 officers had been injured. On Thursday, police had barred access to some areas where Palestinians usually gather in large numbers during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan – sparking confrontations outside one of the entrances to the walled Old City.
