OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC)– Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage stated that members of Likud party led by the Deputy Knesset Speaker Moshe Feiglin have proposed a bill to divide the Al-Aqsa Mosque temporally and spatially between Muslims and Jews.

The proposal is going to be approved by the Israeli government and Knesset in the coming days in cooperation with the Internal Affairs and Environment Committee the foundation pointed out.

Al-Aqsa Foundation stressed that al-Aqsa mosque with its 144 dunums both above the ground and below belongs to Muslims only and no one but them has right in it.

The Foundation warned of the Israeli bill saying that it came as part of Israeli escalated violations and threats against al-Aqsa mosque.

The Foundation stressed the urgent need to save al-Aqsa mosque from the Israeli schemes and dangers calling to intensifying the Palestinian presence in the Islamic religious site.

Al-Aqsa Foundation has obtained a detailed copy of the proposal according to which Jews would be able to visit al-Aqsa Mosque to perform Talmudic rituals.

The extremist organization Manhigut Yehudit a wing of the ruling Likud party is planned to submit the bill to the Internal Affairs and Environment Committee on Wednesday under the title of “Proposal to Manage the Temple Mount”.
