Top Muslim official: Worshipers won’t return to Al-Aqsa
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA senior Muslim official in Jerusalem says worshipers won’t return to a contested shrine until Israel removes new railings and cameras it installed after a deadly attack there.
Ikrema Sabri says Wednesday that even after Israel removed metal detectors more steps were required. He says mass prayer protests would continue outside the site until the gates of the compound were opened and the metal railings and an iron bridge with cameras on it were removed.
Sabri, the head of the Supreme Islamic Committee, says a lawyer on behalf of the Muslim administration of the holy site will be in touch with Israeli police to demand the changes.
