Ramallah, (IINA) - Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday condemned calls made by Israel’s Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan to ban the entry of Palestinian worshipers who protest against Jewish settlers’ presence at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, WAFA reported.
The ministry stated that this move constitutes new evidence that Israel intends to enforce a spatial and temporal division of Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews.
The Israeli media reported that Erdan has sent a letter to the Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, urging him to outlaw a group of Muslim protesters who gather at Al-Aqsa Mosque on a daily basis in order to block settlers’ entry to the Islamic holy site.
Almost every day, settler groups carry out provocative visits to Al-Aqsa Mosque compound to perform religious rituals at the Islamic site. They are frequently confronted by the protestors who gather to prevent them from touring the compound by chanting religious slogans.
Palestinians expressed worries that if Jewish visitors were allowed to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque on daily basis it would eventually lead to a permanent change, which will result in full Israeli control and ban on Muslims’ entry to the mosque for prayer.
