Majlis speaker speaks out against Israeli actions on Mount

In Iran, parliament speaker Ali Larijani also speaks out against Israeli action in Jerusalem from the Majlis rostrum, calling for international bodies to intervene on the Temple Mount.

“It seems that the Zionist regime has misused the turbulent conditions in the region and the conflicts and disputes among the Muslim states,” he says, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news.

He also calls Israeli actions “insulting.”

Friday passed relatively calmly on the site after Israel banned access to men under the age of 40, following days of unrest on the site that drew wide condemnation in the Muslim world.
