Israeli police preparing for a Palestinian "day of rage" increased their presence in Jerusalem on Friday but set no extra
restrictions on access for worshippers at the flashpoint Al Aqsa Mosque, saying they had no indication of unrest there.
Palestinian factions have called for demonstrations in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Islamist group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has urged Palestinians to launch a new uprising.
