Turkish, Qatari foreign ministers discuss Palestine: Diplomatic sources

ANKARA (AA) - Turkish and Qatari foreign ministers discussed the Palestine matter on Friday, according to diplomatic sources.

Mevlut Cavusoglu and Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani also discussed matters related to Afghanistan during a telephone call.

Israeli police said Wednesday it detained 350 Palestinians from the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in East Jerusalem, with witnesses saying they used excessive force, including tear gas.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and later annexed the entire city in 1980 -- a move never recognized by the international community.
