Turkey's Erdogan urges Islamic unity against Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa.

Turkish President Erdogan called Israeli President Herzog to express his concerns over escalating tensions in Jerusalem and the West Bank amid the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The call came as Israel grapples with a string of terror attacks that killed three people over the weekend. Tensions have soared following clashes at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, turning the area into a major flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Erdogan expressed his condolences to the Israeli people for the attacks and wished them a happy Passover. He also brought up "the attack by the Israeli forces on the Al-Aqsa Mosque" on Tuesday and Israel's "harsh attitude towards the worshipers in the holy places." Herzog affirmed Israel's commitment to preserving the status quo on the Temple Mount and at the holy sites in general.
