Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan today discussed growing tensions in Jerusalem with Palestinian and Israeli presidents, following the new Israeli restrictions on Palestinians’ entry into Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Erdogan called President Mahmoud Abbas early Thursday morning, according to sources from the Turkish president’s office, and expressed his concerns to his Palestinian counterpart
 
“Any restriction on Muslims entering Al-Aqsa Mosque is unacceptable,” Erdogan said. “The protection of the Islamic character and sanctity of Al-Quds [Jerusalem] and Al-Haram Al-Sharif [Al-Aqsa Mosque complex] is important for the whole Muslim world.”
