Foreign Ministry condemns ‘cruel and immoral’ harassment of Saudi blogger
The acting Foreign Ministry spokesman condemns the harassment of a Saudi blogger as he visited Jerusalem’s Old City today.
“We strongly condemn the cruel and immoral behavior of some Palestinians near the Al-Aqsa Mosque toward a Saudi media personality who came to Jerusalem to be a bridge to peace and understanding between peoples,” Nizar Amer writes on Twitter.
He accuses Mohammed Saud’s harassers of using the Temple Mount as a “political tool” and says the Saudi will continue to be an honored guest in Israel.
