Israel FM faults hard right for Jerusalem tensions

Israel's foreign minister has berated right-wing politicians for exploiting tensions in Jerusalem.

 

Avigdor Lieberman told Israel Radio on Thursday that some Israeli politicians were "seeking cheap headlines."

 

Right-wing members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and other hard-line lawmakers are pushing the government to remove restrictions preventing Jews from praying at the Jerusalem holy site at the center of the tensions, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.
