A state of tension has rocked Jerusalem’s holy al-Aqsa Mosque after an Israeli policeman was caught carrying a bottle of wine in its plazas at noontime Sunday.
Director-General of the Awqaf Department Azzam al-Khatib slammed the incident which he said is a serious provocation to the Muslim worshipers.
Al-Khatib called for prosecuting the cop and banning him from the site once and for all.
He further railed against a break-in by Israel’s agriculture minister and dozens of fanatic settlers at the site saying the Islamiq authorities have updated Jordan on the violations and pushed for a serious reaction.
