RAMALLAH - 24 July 2017: Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed on Monday the holy Mosque of Al Aqsa through the Mughrabi gate amid tight security measures by Israeli police.

About 38 settlers toured freely the mosque and performed Talmudic rituals at Al Buraq wall, local sources reported.

Meantime, the Israeli government's session was postponed to the evening after a senior Israeli officer traveled to Jordan to continue the negotiations to avoid a diplomatic row between the two countries.

A senior Israeli officer left for Amman to meet Jordanian officials to discuss ways of surpassing the crisis with Jordan, the Israeli media quoted a high level official in the Israeli foreign ministry as saying.

The Jordanian security bodies are cordoning the Israeli embassy in Amman and are preventing the departure of its diplomatic mission to Tel Aviv to interrogate them.
