(; en. Dayan Visits Aksa Mosque Area, Open for the First Tune Since Fire
.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Defense
Minister Moshe Dayan visited the
Temple Mount compound in East
Jerusalem Monday morning follow-
ing its reopening to Jewish visitors
for the first time since the Al
Aksa Mosque fire last Aug. 21.
The Cahinet decided to lift the
ban on Jewish access to the area
held sacred by both Jews and Mos-
lems. The ban was originally im-
posed to avoid possible clashes
between Jewish visitors and Arabs
who were incensed by the mosque
fire.
The cabinet's decision however
affected only one -a cces s. the
Moor's Gate, which has always
been guarded by Israeli military
police and has been used by Jew-
ish worshipers and tourists going
to and from the West Wall. The
other nine gates under control of
the Wakf, the Moslem religious
council, remain closed to all but
Moslem worshipers. There is an
entrance fee.
Gen. Dayan was accompanied
by the chief of the Moslem
guards employed by the Wakf.
They are responsible for security
of the AI Aksa Mosque and the
Dome of the Rock (Mosque of
Omar). But Israeli authorities
security
responsible for
are
along
the approaches to the
area.

Temple Mount irritated sonic Is-
raelis. especially after an Austral-
ian Christian, Denis Michael Wil-
liam Rohen, admitted setting fire
to the Al Aksa Mosque. Some
Israelis still insist that Israeli
police should control all of the
gates. The matter has become an
issue in the Oct. 28 national elec-
tion.
The Wakf Wednesday assailed
the reopening of the Temple Mount
compound to non-Moslem visitors,
contending that Israeli authorities
have no right to supervise access
to the area which contains Al Aksa
and the Mosque of Omar.
According to the Wakf, All of
the compound is a mosque, all of
it is holy and all of it is the sole
property of Moslems."
It never barred non-Moslem visi-
tors from the area until "the pain-
fill and mysterious circumstances"
surrounding the arson at the Al
Aksa mosque, the statement said.
Israel has not disputed the
Wakf's right to guard Moslem i
shrines and has in fact, insisted
that the Moslem religious authori-
ties were solely responsible for the
security and maintenance of its
shrines. A special ministerial com-
mittee investigating the circum-
stances of the Al Aksa mosque fire
charged the Wakf with gross negli
gence in exercising its responsi-
bilities in the Temple Mount area.
Israeli forces maintain security
along the approaches to the com-
pound.
