An ultranationalist Israeli Cabinet minister stoked tensions with Palestine by visiting a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem.
Tuesday’s visit was the first that has been made since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new far-right government took office last week.
Israel’s government has been fiercely criticised from around the Muslin world for the visit, which has also been rebuked by the United States.
Mr Netanyahu attempted to play down the incident, saying it was in line with longstanding understandings at the disputed holy site.
