Haaretz : "Egyptian FM assaulted by Palestinians on Temple Mount
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher was lightly injured Monday after being assaulted by young Palestinians during a visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
According to some witnesses, Maher was attacked by Muslim extremists who attempted to choke him. Other witnesses reported that he was shoved and heckled, and that items were thrown at him in reaction to the fact that he climbed the mount via the Mugrabi Gate, which is generally an access route for non-Muslims.
Security guards and Jerusalem police drove off the assaulters, and escorted the Egyptian minister off the Mount."
