Israel Relents On Holy Site Restrictions

 

    Muslim leaders have lifted a boycott of a key holy site in East Jerusalem after Israel removed the last of security measures which had led to uproar.
   They urged Palestinians to re-enter the compound today for the first time since the crisis erupted two weeks ago.
   The last remnants of Israel's recently installed security apparatus was taken away earlier today.
   RizeFM recalls that Palestinians had fiercely objected to the measures introduced after the killing of two Israeli policemen.
  They had refrained from entering the Old City complex known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount in protest over what they saw as an Israeli attempt to exert control over the contested site.
   Meanwhile, Israel has said it will introduce less obtrusive security measures over the next six months.
