Saudi King appeals to UN Chief for urgent measures on Jerusalem's Al Aqsa division

Palestinians shout slogans during a protest following clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police at Jerusalem’s flash point Al-Aqsa mosque compound on September 17, 2015, in Gaza City. Saudi King Salman has appealed to UN chief Ban Ki-moon and members of the Security Council for “urgent measures” after clashes at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque compound. The arrival of more than a thousand tourists and Jews for the Jewish New Year reinforced fears among Palestinians and Muslim authorities that Israel wants to scrap the current arrangements and impose a division of the use of the compound; Jews in the morning and Muslims for the rest of the day.
