Clashes have erupted across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as a result of ongoing confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli forces at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Along with other Knesset members from the Arab Joint List coalition, Jamal Zahalka was present at the al-Aqsa compound on Tuesday to protest recent visits to the holy place by Jewish organisations and entry restrictions on Palestinian worshippers. "We have no problem with Jewish visitors. We have a problem with groups that come to provoke Palestinians," Zahalka told Al Jazeera, referring to right-wing organisations and settler groups.   Al Jazeera
