The US on Friday voiced extreme concern and called for an end to violence following a raid by Israeli police on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, Palestine.
"The United States is extremely concerned about ongoing confrontations in Jerusalem, including on the Haram al-Sharif / Temple Mount and in Sheikh Jarrah, which have reportedly resulted in scores of injured people," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
"There is no excuse for violence, but such bloodshed is especially disturbing now, coming as it does on the last days of Ramadan.
"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," said Price.
