[Ha'aretz] Avi Isaacharoff - The status quo on the Temple Mount has not changed since 2003. The entry of Jews and tourists is permitted on the Temple Mount from 7:30 to 10 a.m., and from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. These visits do not have to be coordinated with officials of the Waqf (Muslim trust) and take place without any interference. However, the desire of Palestinian politicians to win a few minutes of fame has recently led to various violent incidents. The PA is not doing enough to ease tensions, while the Israeli Arab Islamic Movement's northern faction is apparently working in concert with a number of Palestinian figures in an effort to spark an escalation of hostilities on the mount. The former mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, called on Muslim worshipers to gather at the Al-Aqsa Mosque last Sunday, to defend it against the Jews. His call was also taken up by Hatem Abdel Khader, the Fatah official in the PA who holds the Jerusalem portfolio. 2009-10-06 08:00:00Full Article
