Abbas blasts Israel for shutting down Temple Mount after Palestinians hurl firebomb at cops

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ office condemns “the dangerous Israeli escalation in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque” and called on the international community to urgently intervene after Israeli forces shut down the holy site after Palestinians hurled a Molotov cocktail at a police post.

Abbas’s office says it has been in communication with relevant parties, including Jordan, “to pressure the occupation’s government to halt this dangerous escalation.”
