Fresh rioting has erupted in East Jerusalem. Police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds of Palestinian protesters who burnt tyres and threw stones. No casualties have been reported. The protests followed the reopening of the twice-destroyed Hurva synagogue on Temple Mount. The Palestinian radical movement Hamas proclaimed Tuesday a “day of wrath”. Tensions in Jerusalem and the Israeli government’s plans to build 1,600 homes for Jews in the Arab part of the city have prompted the U.S. envoy George Mitchell to postpone his visit to Israel.
