Palestinian women and children gather near the Lions Gate in Jerusalem's Old City to protect restrictions imposed by the Israeli government on visits to the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday urged lawmakers to show restraint over Islam’s third holiest mosque, which has been at the heart of rising tension with the Palestinians in recent weeks. Daily clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians in the streets of East Jerusalem and the al-Aqsa compound have been stoking fears of a new Palestinian Intifada, or uprising.
