Jerusalem
Palestinian medics in the West Bank say one man was killed and four others injured in what appeared to be the worst outburst of settler violence in decades.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said both sides must work to de-escalate tensions that have soared in “a new and horrifying surge in violence.”
The killings took place a day after Israeli troops killed nine Palestinians in the deadliest West Bank raid in years
Police said at least three were seriously injured.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The former prime minister and his ultranationalist allies won an election that ended the short-lived, ideologically-diverse government that had ousted him.
The attack in Jerusalem followed a tense week between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
The renewed violence at the site came despite Israel temporarily halting Jewish visits, which are seen by the Palestinians as a provocation
Palestinian medics say 17 people were injured after Israeli security entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, just days after violently storming the site.
Medics said more than 150 Palestinians were wounded.
The court ruled that four families who were slated to be forcibly removed from their east Jerusalem homes and land can remain for the time being.
