A spokesperson for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemns Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s “irresponsible” visit to Damascus Gate yesterday.

“The continuing actions of the occupation army, its police provocations, and the incursions of settlers [at the Temple Mount holy site] will lead the situation to explode,” Abbas spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh says.
