In a statement, Ministry Spokesperson
Haitham Abu Al Foul warned against allowing the extremists to carry out provocative acts that
violate the sanctity of the holy site, which is a place of worship for Muslims
only.
The spokesperson
also called on respecting the legal and historical status quo of Jerusalem, and
to stop all measures that impede the ability of worshipers to reach
Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
Meanwhile, Hamas movement in
Gaza on Wednesday
threatened Israel over plans by Jewish activists to conduct ritual sacrifices
inside Al-Aqsa compound, or what Jews call the Temple Mount, saying they would
not allow it “at any cost.”
The Returning to the Mount extremist group, which
advocates the construction of a third Jewish temple on the site, announced on
Facebook Monday that it would be offering a cash prize to those who manage to
sacrifice a lamb on the “Temple Mount”, and to anyone arrested trying to do so.
