Palestinians’ Boycott of Al-Aqsa Mosque to Continue
The Zionist regime of Israel had hoped to defuse escalating tensions with the Muslim world by replacing them instead with cameras that can reportedly detect hidden objects.
But local people weren’t happy, saying that "they should also be gone”.
Israel installed metal detectors just a week ago at the gates of a contested shrine after two police guards were shot dead on July 14.
It remains unclear if Muslim religious leaders will accept the decision.
Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Quds said, "We will keep praying in the streets and squares next to the Mosque, every single time we pray, until we’ll get the decision giving us the authorization to do our prayers inside the Mosque,” Euronews reported.
The move comes after a meeting of the United Nations security council and a subsequent warning from the UN Middle East envoy that these localized actions have the potential to have catastrophic costs well beyond the walls of the Old City and even beyond the Middle East itself.
