Police to shut down Temple Mount to visitors on Sunday



Bracing for possible violence, Jerusalem police announced Wednesday that the Temple Mount will be completely closed off to non-Muslim visitors on Sunday, the day of a major ultra-nationalist rally to the site.

Jerusalem police chief Ilan Franco had announced last week that he was barring a massive Jewish pilgrimage to the Temple Mount by a group of ultra-nationalists opposed to the planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip following multiple intelligence warnings that such an event could prompt Palestinian violence at the bitterly contested holy site.
But organizers of the event have said that they were going ahead with the rally, setting the stage for a major show-down with police outside the Jerusalem site on Sunday

Islamic movement to mobilize tens of thousands to counter Jewish rally


The Islamic Movement intends to mobilize tens of thousands of Israeli Arab Muslims from throughout the country to take part in a mass pilgrimage to the Aksa mosque in Jerusalem on Sunday to counter a planned demonstration by the Temple Mount faithful and those opposed to disengagement.

Entire families are to be brought in buses to the site, which is holy to Muslims all over the world, in a gesture of solidarity and to send a message to the authorities, according to organizers.
United Arab List MK Taleb a-Sanna told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday night that the event was being organized by the Islamic Movement in light of what were viewed as the dangers to the mosque.
