Police prevent bid to lay cornerstone for new temple at Al Aqsa TEL AVIV (AFP) — Israeli police prevented Jewish extremists from entering occupied Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque compound Wednesday to launch the reconstruction of the Jewish temple, which extremist claim, stood at the site 2,000 years ago. Brandishing Israeli flags, about 60 activists from the Mount Temple Faithful group tried to enter the mosque compound to lay a four-and-a-half tonne “cornerstone” for the temple, a police spokesman said. Police barred the group entry to the compound, the third holiest site in Islam after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. The activists went instead to a square near the Western Wall, a retaining wall for the mosque compound which Jews consider the last remnant of the temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Their bid to enter the mosque area, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, coincided with an annual ceremony at the Western Wall called the blessing of the Cohen — descendants of the clan of high priests who officiated at the temple. About 30,000 people gathered at the wall for the ceremony, held each year during the weeklong festival of tabernacles, Sukkot. The Temple Mount Faithful are dedicated to rebuilding the ancient temple in the place of Al Aqsa mosque and the adjacent Dome of the Rock. On Wednesday they left their “cornerstone” for the new temple outside the Old City walls surrounding the disputed compound. “We will return because there cannot be a state in Greater Israel without the reconstruction of the temple and no one can stop this holy and historic project,” said Gershom Salomon, head of the activist group. Israeli security forces recently stepped up patrols around Al Aqsa for fear of possible attacks by Jewish radicals hoping to scuttle peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. accessme.com
