WAKF: Israel Will Be Responsible for the Collapse of the Temple Mount

The Director of the Moslem Wakf administration on the Temple Mount, Adnan el-Husseini, warned on Monday of the danger of the collapse of the Temple Mount. This, he said, is after Israel stopped the renovations of the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount.

In an interview with the Voice of Palestine, el-Husseini claimed that Israel alone would bear responsibility for the loss of life if the wall should collapse. He said that Israel was interfering with the renovation work done by the Moslem Wakf in order to prevent the collapse of the wall.

Husseini claims that the Wakf managed to renovate about 20% of the wall, but because of steps taken by Israel, the Wakf stopped its work and the work done there.
