Cairo (ANTARA/AFP) - Egypt`s foreign ministry summoned Israel`s charge d`affaires on Wednesday in protest at its "provocative measures" in east Jerusalem, a day after hundreds of Palestinians clashed with Israeli police.

Egypt delivered a "a clear message to the effect that Israel must immediately stop all provocative and illegal measures that feed the cycle of conflict," the ministry said in a statement.

Sixteen Palestinians were hospitalised after Tuesday`s violence in annexed east Jerusalem, where tensions have been high since Israel`s announcement last week of plans to build 1,600 new homes for Jewish settlers.

The reopening of a twice-destroyed Hurva synagogue in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem`s walled Old City on Monday further raised the tensions.
