(Worthy News) – Palestinians across East Jerusalem will hold mass protests on Friday in the wake of a court-approved Passover sacrifice ceremony held by religious Jews close to the Temple Mount on Monday, the leader of the city’s Al-Aqsa Mosque announced on Tuesday.
The Jerusalem District Court gave the go-ahead for the bible-mandated ritual of slaughtering the paschal lamb not on the Temple Mount, the holiest site for Jews, but just below it, in the Davidson complex.
Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, imam of Al-Aqsa — Islam’s third holiest shrine — said, “We will not recognize the court’s decision because it has no right to discuss this subject. The decision harms and provokes the faithful, especially as this Friday marks Land Day,” the Ynet news site reported. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
