A Palestinian man in his 20s was also shot and injured by an Israel settler east of Hebron on Sunday, Ma’an reported. The settler said the man had tried to stab him, although Ma’an cited initial reports from Israeli forces saying the actual suspect had fled.

Earlier in the weekend, a 13-year-old Palestinian boy was shot in the cheek and left shoulder by Israeli forces during clashes outside of the West Bank city of Ramallah, Ma’an reported.

In an attempt to end the recent violence, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that Israel and Jordan, which oversees the holy site, agreed to a series of measures, with the surveillance cameras as the centerpiece.

The Al-Aqsa mosque compound, the third-holiest site in Islam, shares a wall with the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism and home to the biblical Jewish Temples. The spate of violence began following Palestinian allegations that Israel is trying to alter a delicate arrangement at the holy site — a charge that Israel denies.

Speaking to his cabinet, Netanyahu said Israel has no plans to change the longstanding status quo at the site, where Jews are allowed to visit but not pray.

"The Temple Mount will be managed as it has been until now,” he said. “The visits by Jews to the Temple Mount will be maintained, there will be no change, as with the prayer arrangements for the Muslims.”

Palestinian official Saeb Erekat said Israel supports the surveillance proposal for reasons other than reducing tensions over the site.

"Netanyahu wants the video cameras just to track our people and arrest them," Erekat told the Voice of Palestine radio station.

Azzam Khatib, director of Waqf, the Jordanian religious body that runs the site, said footage from the security cameras would be streamed on the Internet "so the world would see what is going on inside Al-Aqsa."
