Israeli border police officers (back) stand guard as Palestinians pray in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Ras al-Amud October 9, 2009. The Dome of the Rock, on the compound known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as Temple Mount, in Jerusalem's Old City is seen in the background. Palestinian leaders on Thursday called for a one-day general strike and warned of more street protests over Jerusalem, where clashes at the flashpoint al-Aqsa mosque two weeks ago cranked up tensions in the disputed city. Israel is playing down Palestinian warnings that its security tactics risk a new Palestinian uprising. REUTERS/Darren Whiteside (JERUSALEM POLITICS CONFLICT RELIGION)
