The Islamic Christian Authority for the Support of Jerusalem and Holy Sites has condemned the recommendations of the Israeli occupation police to restrict the access of worshipers to Al-Aqsa Mosque during the month of Ramadan, Wafa news agency reported.
The Israeli authorities recommended allowing only 10,000 worshipers to perform Friday prayers during the month.
The authority said in a statement that this "unprecedented decision since 1967 constitutes a dangerous precedent and a provocation to the feelings of Muslims and a flagrant violation of the legal and historical status of Al-Aqsa Mosque and a consecration of Israeli control over the Noble Sanctuary".
