ArmInfo. We are deeply concerned about the ongoing clashes in Jerusalem. This is stated in the statement of the Armenian Foreign Ministry.
" We call on all parties involved to exercise restraint in order to reduce tensions and prevent further civilian casualties," the Armenian Foreign Ministry said.
Riots in the Old City of Jerusalem began on 22 April. Clashes also took place on 7 May and resumed on 10 May. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the world media distort and mistakenly convey information about what is happening in East Jerusalem. The Israel Defense Forces have suspended the Chariot of Fire exercises for a day to "focus all efforts on preparing and preparing for escalation scenarios," Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi told Reuters. During the riots, more than 300 people, mostly Palestinians, were injured.
Meanwhile, according to the media, one of the stumbling blocks in the next aggravation of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict is the decision of the Israeli court in two districts of East Jerusalem to evict several Arab families - near the Temple Mount and in the Sheikh Jarrah quarter. Because of this, riots broke out, which escalated into clashes with the police.
