Jerusalem – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for an “inflammatory speech” about Jerusalem.

Speaking in Qatar, Abbas charged that Israel was intending to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third-holiest site. The mosque sits on top of the remains of the two biblical Jewish temples.
Netanyahu said Abbas should “not disseminate lies and incitement.”
Jerusalem is the most sensitive issue at the core of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
Tensions flared in Jerusalem over the weekend.
One Palestinian was killed, and 11 Israeli police officers were injured.
Netanyahu made the remarks Sunday after Abbas’s speech in Qatar.
Well we should raze the place and put up the temple already.Just like they did in Ezras time.I think they did that before Ezra did a para aduma.
It isn’t the Israelis who will destroy it, its the Melech Malchay Hamlochim who will do it!!
I look forward to its destruction BH let it be soon
What a liar Abbas is!!
Israel’s chance to destroy that pagan place was immediately after the Six Day War in June of ’67.
Israel would have saved themselves many a problem had moshe dayan not given the keys of the wakf to the mufti of jerusalem, reversing on its head, ‘to the victor goes the spoils’.
“… Abbas charged … Islam’s third-holiest site …”
Sure … 3rd holiest site. That’s why Jerusalem isn’t mentioned once in the Koran, all Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem and no Muslim leader ever visited Jerusalem while it was under Muslim control.
Does any sane (maybe, Hu-sein?) person believe this nonsense?
Abba should be careful what he wishes for….
If Israel was intent on destroying the mosque, they would have already done so.
Abbas and Abbdulla are the real obstacles to peace.
Should of done it in 67′
What can you say. The troubles just never ends for the land of israel. Every day there is something else going on. What a troubled nation. Maybe after all it would have been better to wait out the coming of the mesiah.
abbas thinks like an Arab and thinks others behave the same way when they are in power. Look what the Taliban did in Afghanistan to the Hindu statues.
of course the simple fact that Israel did not destroy if for the last 60+ years is a small oversight on his part
