MUSLIM WAQF REFUSES TO COMPLY WITH NEW SECURITY MEASURES IN JERUSALEM’S OLD CITY:

The Muslim Waqf, headed by the Mufti of Jerusalem, is refusing to cooperate with the new security procedures that police have instituted on the Temple Mount following the murderous attack at the compound last Friday 14 July 2017. Waqf officials announced that they would not pass through the electronic entrance gates set up by police at two of the entrances used by Muslims to enter the Temple Mount site. According to them, setting up the metal detecting equipment and conditioning entry on a personal check constitutes a violation of the status quo on the Mount. It will be noted that, in the days since the terror attack last week during which two Border Policemen were murdered, police have conducted extensive searches on the Temple Mount, where they have discovered much inciting material and items for use during riots.
