OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — An Israeli far-right lawmaker visited the flashpoint Al Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem on Sunday, defying calls for restraint from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
MP Moshe Feiglin was met with protests from Muslim worshippers when he visited Al Haram Al Sharif, an AFP photographer said.
The hardline lawmaker is a member of Netanyahu’s rightwing Likud bloc.
Al Haram Al Sharif is Islam’s third holiest shrine.
