Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday urged all Muslims to visit and protect Jerusalem after violence broke out over metal detectors that Israel installed and later removed from a sensitive holy site in the city.
"From here I make a call to all Muslims. Anyone who has the opportunity should visit Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa mosque," Erdogan said in Ankara, adding: "Come, let's all protect Jerusalem."
He was referring to the site known to Jews as the Temple Mount and central to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
