Israel has rejected a Palestinian plea to the United Nations for an international force to police the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem.
The Israeli rejection of the plan was followed by two more incidents early on Saturday in which Palestinians were killed after allegedly trying to stab Israeli citizens.
Israeli ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon stated that an international presence on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound would violate the status quo of the last several decades and international intervention would not be helpful or contribute to the stability.
It is expected that over the coming weeks, Israeli aggression towards the Palestinians will increase, especially given that any international action against Israel has failed.
