“There is no excuse for violence, but such bloodshed is especially disturbing now, coming as it does on the last days of Ramadan,” Department of State spokesman, Ned Price, tweeted. “This includes Friday’s attack on Israeli soldiers and reciprocal ‘price tag’ attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, which we condemn in no uncertain terms.”Some have criticised the U.S.
Turkish president’s spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, said the “disgraceful attacks on Masjid al-Aqsa in this holy month of fasting” was shameful. Israel’s Foreign Ministry has also accused the Palestinians of seizing on the threatened evictions, which it described as a “real-estate dispute between private parties,” in order to incite violence.
Israel captured East Jerusalem, along with the West Bank and Gaza from Palestine in the 1967 Mideast war. It annexed East Jerusalem and views the entire city as its capital. Although, internationally, it is not recognised so.
