"Bab Al Rahmah" and the Israeli intimidation tactics | | Daoud Kuttab - Arab Media Internet Network - The pressure, of course,
is on the occupation forces, in how they will enforce this temporary
decision. More arrests are unlikely to produce results. Having
Israeli forces stationed within the Aqsa Mosque complex in order to
carry out this decision will further escalate tensions and such
forces will become the target of regular protesters. Muslims will
most likely pray at the nearest location to the Bab Al Rahmah that
they will be allowed to. None of the Israeli tactics will work. A
more reasonable solution has to be for the occupation forces to
negotiate with the Jordanian government and reach a solution that
does not affect the rights of Muslims to all 144 dunums of Al Haram
Al Sharif. Anything short of that is unlikely to succeed.-rh | 26/3/2019 |

Silwan from Jawad’s Eyes | | IMEMC -
"Jawad: “All you see here is Silwan. Silwan is very big, it was around 100.000 dunams, at some point. Israel confiscated almost 94,400 dunams after the wars in 1948 and 1967, so today there are only 5,600 dunams left. “Actually, it is much more crowded than Gaza; 55.000 Palestinians and around 400 settlers live here. The settlers are controlling over the life of the 55.000 Palestinians, they try to make us feel like strangers in our own home. They can close an entire street whenever they want…there are a lot of clashes here.”" - id | 14/3/2019 |

Palestinians, Jordanians challenge Israel at Al-Aqsa over banned prayer space | | Daoud Kuttab - Al-Monitor - Al-Aqsa Mosque is again causing a major
rift in the once friendly relationship between Jordan and Israel.
Relations turned sour in the past week when Israeli security officials
conducted a humiliating arrest of Jordan’s most senior official in
Jerusalem. Heavily armed Israeli security forces arrived at the East
Jerusalem home of Sheikh Abdul Azim Salhab at 5:30 a.m. on Feb. 24.
Salhab’s deputy and a score of other employees of the Jordanian
Ministry of Awqaf were also taken away, as were leading Palestinian
activists. The Israeli police said the arrests were made because
Salhab, 75, and hundreds of Muslims broke an Israeli imposed ban
forbidding Palestinians from entering or praying at the Bab al-Rahmeh
prayer room in the mosque. They called the protest act a “change in
the status quo.”-rh
