DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denounced Israel on Wednesday for what he called its “insult” to Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque in connection with Israeli actions at one of Islam’s holiest places.

Israeli-Palestinian strife has risen sharply in recent weeks as Arab states and Palestinians have accused Israeli forces of violations at the mosque.

Khamenei described Israeli behaviour towards Palestinians as the “ultimate degree of ruthlessness and evil”.
