Waqf Head Doesn't Waffle on Temple Mount Issue

Taken from this website:-

Regarding the recent temple mount violence [Adnan] Husseini [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor on Jerusalem affairs and former director of the Waqf] became very firm and resolute.

“We have been warning that extremists [that's Jewish extremists], if they allow them to do everything, one day there will be a hospital in front of the government. What they are doing now in Jerusalem, the West Bank, they are threatening even the security of Israel...they have very extreme thinking that is not accepted in the international community and this is the government that wants to deal with the international community.”

He then called for pressure to be put on the Israeli government.

The settlers come to “the temple mount, they come, they start to shout… ‘go to Mecca this is our country…we have to demolish the dome of the rock.’”

Husseini denied that rocks had been prepared in advance and claimed that the attacks were a spontaneous reaction to outrageous provocation and were taken in self defense.

I asked Husseini where he believed that Jews should go to pray. Jewish prayer is currently barred on the Temple Mount by the Israeli police and the Waqf. Husseini replied that the Jews have the Kotel plaza. However, Husseini has previously gone on the record calling the Western Wall a Muslim site.

Husseini said to Israeli news site NRG that “This is part of Islamic heritage that cannot be given up, and it must be under Muslim control.”
