The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) allowed Jewish settlers to open a cafeteria at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the Old City of al-Khalil.
According to local sources dozens of settlers flocked to the cafeteria in the Mosque’s courtyard to sell food and drink.
Local officials believe that the cafeteria is part of Israeli steps intended to intensify the presence of Jewish settlers at the Mosque.
Recently the IOA approved a plan to confiscate Palestinian property near the Ibrahimi Mosque in order to build a special path for Jewish settlers to the Mosque including a parking lot an elevator and rest spots.
