Palestinians die in new clashes over Jerusalem holy site

JERUSALEM, July 23, (APP/AFP): Two Palestinians died
in clashes with Israeli forces Saturday after violence over security measures at an ultra-sensitive holy site.
The UN Security Council will hold closed-door talks Monday about the
spiralling violence after Egypt, France and Sweden sought a meeting to
“urgently discuss how calls for de-escalation in Jerusalem can be supported”.
Clashes also flared in east Jerusalem and other Palestinian villages in the West Bank near Jerusalem.
