Police opened an in investigation in to the incident.
The incident came following Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman's condemnation of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday night after Abbas said Jews should be prevented from visiting the Temple Mount and that Palestinians should defend the site from them.
Liberman said Abbas's remarks reveal his attempt to ignite the conflict by using the most sensitive place, the Temple Mount. In a statement released on Saturday night, Liberman accused Abbas and the PA of being behind the disturbances of the residents of east Jerusalem.
The foreign minister said the remarks also reveal Abbas's "true face" as a "Holocaust denier who speaks about a Palestinian state free of Jews." He said Abbas was and remains an anti-Semite.
