2011-11-18 | News

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (Alresalah.ps)-- The Israeli occupation municipality of
occupied Jerusalem said that it will demolish a mosque in Ras Al-Amud neighborhood,
because "it has expanded to State-owned land", as Ynet reported Thursday.
Following repeated complaints lodged by the some fanatic Israeli settlers, in June 2011 "the
City of Jerusalem" ordered that construction at the site be halted. However, construction
continued.
Michael Frankburg, legal counsel for Occupied Jerusalem District Israeli Police, said that
the construction at the mosque was limited "to internal renovations.
Aryeh King, chairman of the occupied East Jerusalem Public Complaints Bureau, said "it
is a shame that all the law enforcement agencies are helpless, especially when this is about
such an important site as the Mount of Olives".
The City of Jerusalem said it would start "legal proceedings" against the mosque.
