(Worthy News) – The United States and nearly all of Israel’s Middle East allies issued statements Thursday condemning Jerusalem over the visits lawmakers made to the flashpoint Temple Mount and the controversial annual march by religious nationalists through the Old City’s Muslim Quarter, which was again marred by violence and racism toward Palestinians.

The statements by Jordan and Egypt also criticized the decision to hold the so-called Flag March. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
