Jerusalem - Hundreds of Palestinian protesters were wounded in a weekend of clashes with Israeli security forces, as a key court hearing on a flashpoint property dispute was postponed.
The area around the revered Al-Aqsa mosque has seen several nights of violence, the worst since 2017, fuelled by a years-long bid by Jewish settlers to take over nearby Palestinian homes in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.
Ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel would decisively and responsibly impose law and order in Jerusalem .
