The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he "deeply deplores" the killing of three Palestinians teens as tensions ran high on Friday over Israeli restrictions at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa compound.
Guterres condemned the killings and called for an immediate investigation early on Saturday into the deaths of the three teenagers killed because of violent clashes with protestors and the Israeli police.
He also advised Israeli and Palestinian leaders to refrain from actions that could further escalate the unstable situation in East Jerusalem.
