OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC)– Israeli archaeologist Meir Ben-Dov called for ceasing ongoing Israeli excavations in Occupied Jerusalem city and giving up fantasies about the construction of an alleged temple mount.
The Jerusalem Weekly quoted Meir Ben-Dov as stating: “We should be wise. We shouldn’t carry out actions that would flame tension in the region.”
The archaeologist pushed for immediately giving up illusions on the construction of a third temple mount on the ruins of Muslims’ the holy al-Aqsa Mosque.
“Excavations should stop to prevent an imminent destruction” he said.
He further called for halting visits to the al-Aqsa Mosque and to adopt the Jewish edict banning access to the “temple mount” (Aqsa Mosque).
An anti-occupation Jerusalem Uprising has started since early October in protest at Israel’s desecration schemes and sacrilegious break-ins at the al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam.
