Security officials fear Temple Mount crisis could harm relations
with Jordan ■ Netanyahu: Israel asked Jordan, Arab world to help
restore peace ■ Abbas said working to prevent escalation
Government and security officials have been holding on Wednesday intense consultations over the Temple Mount crisis.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s entourage held phone conversations
with top security officials in an attempt to find a way out of the
developing crisis with the Palestinians over the installation of metal
detectors at the entries to Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
Netanyahu will hold further consultations Wednesday evening, and again on Thursday, after his return from Hungary.
In the talks thus far,
officials from the Shin Bet, army and the Coordinator of Government
Activities in the Territories expressed reservations about insisting on
the continued use of metal detectors at the entrances to the Temple
Mount. The officials urged that a solution be found that would allow
Israel to extricate itself “with dignity” from this conflict, without
having it escalate into broader unrest in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The Temple Mount was
reopened to Jewish visitors on Wednesday on the orders of Jerusalem
police chief Yoram Halevy, after being closed down following a deadly attack last
Friday. The placement of metal detectors at the site after the attack
led to violent confrontations between Muslim worshippers and police in
the following days.
One
proposal under consideration is for a senior Western or Arab personage
to approach Israel with a plan for resolving the crisis. The army is
readying for the possibility that reinforcements will be needed this
weekend in case of potential disturbances.
Security
officials also discussed the need to prepare for possible rocket fire
from Gaza and for possible mass protests organized by Hamas close to the
border fence.
Netanyahu: Metal detectors don't alter status quo

Meanwhile, the prime
minister said in a briefing to reporters in Budapest that Israel has not
changed its position concerning metal detectors at the entries to the
holy site.
“There is no change regarding the metal detectors,” Netanyahu said.
“No other decision has been made about the Temple Mount. This evening I
will hold another consultation with security officials. There are
different views and I am listening to them."
He also said Israel
has turned to Jordan and to Arab countries and asked them for their help
to restore the peace to the Temple Mount.
Netanyahu asserted
that the metal detector policy for Temple Mount was nothing new. "We
told the Jordanians that until 2000, metal detectors were being used
partially at the Temple Mount," he noted. "We’ve told this to the whole
Arab world."
Israel, Netanyahu
said, is in continuous contact with Jordan. "They would like to end this
as quietly as possible. We expect everyone to help restore calm," he
said. "We should look at the facts and the truth – the installation of
metal detectors does not constitute any change in the status quo. It is
only meant to prevent a repeat of an attack with weapons.”
Jordanian Foreign
Minister Ayman al Safadi said on Wednesday that the key to calming the
situation in Jerusalem and at the Al-Aqsa Mosque is in Israel's hands.
He said that King Abdullah, who is personally in contact with Israel, is
demanding to preserve the status quo and for Israel to rescind its
decisions of the past few days regarding security at the compound.
Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas is holding talks with Arab and world leaders in an
attempt to prevent an escalation in Jerusalem, his spokesman Nabil Abu
Rudeineh said Wednesday. Abbas will hold an emergency meeting Thursday
with the heads of Palestinian security forces ahead of prayers on
Friday.
Renewed clashes erupted between
protesters and Israeli security forces on Wednesday, which Fatah
declared a Day of Rage, near the Lion's Gate in Jerusalem's Old City,
where police used stun grenades against the demonstrators. However, the
day passed with relatively few such incidents. Still, the IDF is worried
about possible escalation ahead of the Friday prayers, as well as the
Jerusalem mufti’s call to worshippers in the city’s mosques to exercise
their right to pray at Al Aqsa on Friday.
Tensions in the West Bank were exacerbated by a road accident that occurred on Wednesday afternoon.
Jewish visitors were
expelled on Wednesday from the compound for bringing sacred books to the
Mount and trying to pray there. After one of the individuals was
cautioned, another took out a holy book, and the group was expelled. The
site was then temporarily closed to visitors.
La comunità ebraica difende CasaPound. E attacca De Magistris Il sindaco aveva duramente accusato l’associazione: «Sono nazifascisti». La risposta: «Sì ma il sindaco sta con Abu Mazen, negazionista dell’Olocausto» iltempo.it Gigi De Magistris proprio non riesce a piacere a nessuno dei suoi concittadini, nemmeno rispolverando uno dei cavalli di battaglia più abusati del politically correct: l'antifascismo. Eppure la comunità ebraica di Napoli e Casapound c'è una frattura praticamente insanabile. Le relazioni sono praticamente inesistenti e nessuna diplomazia è mai riuscita ad avvicinare due mondi agli antipodi. Solo l'avversione verso il sindaco ha compiuto questo miracolo. La reazione alla tolleranza zero del sindaco verso l’organizzazione è stata questa: «CasaPound è presente in quasi tutte le città, d'altronde se si comportano democraticamente non c'è alcuna preclusione» ha affermato P...

They’re the worst, the hypocrites and the self-righteous. The ones who are shocked at the scenes from Aleppo, tsking as they watch television and certain that the world has to do something. The world, but not they and not their country. Urgently, right now, without delay, but not they and not their country. They are assuaging their conscience, so beautiful, superior and moral in their own eyes. They are after all not indifferent to the horrors of Aleppo; they are people of conscience and justice and this pains them. It pains them so much – they can’t sleep at night at the sight of the dead children, they think about their grandmothers and grandfathers in the Holocaust and how the world stood by and did nothing and how this must not be allowed to happen again. Never again. But not they and not their country. Somebody else. Israel, after all, can’t. It is an enemy country and so it can’t interfere...
