Israel's justice ministry said it would delay a key hearing in a case that could see Palestinian families evicted from their Jerusalem homes to make way for Jewish settlers.
Police fired stun grenades and"skunk" water cannons spraying foul-smelling water at Palestinians outside the Old City's Damascus Gate and scuffled with youths in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood, amid other isolated flare ups across the area.
But the Israeli role in the hostilities - especially Friday's clashes at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam's third holiest site - has met widespread criticism.AAPAll six Arab nations that have diplomatic ties with Israel - Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan - have condemned the Jewish state over its weekend aggression at Al-Aqsa.
According to the Red Crescent, a total of more than 300 Palestinians were wounded on Friday and Saturday nights, some hit by rubber bullets and stun grenades. A Supreme Court hearing on a Palestinian appeal had been set for Monday and risked inflaming tensions further.
