Israel Welcomes Al-Aqsa Monitoring, Palestinians Suspicious
(Reuters) Ali Sawafta - Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday that Israel "has an interest in cameras being deployed everywhere on the Temple Mount" to refute claims that it is changing the status quo. Netanyahu said such surveillance would also "show where the provocations are really coming from" and enable Israel to thwart them from the outset. Palestinian officials reacted warily, however. Saeb Erekat, secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said, "He (Netanyahu) wants to install cameras in order to monitor and arrest our people."
