"Supreme Shari’ah Judge of Palestine, Palestinian [PA] President [Mahmoud Abbas’] advisor [on Religious and Islamic Affairs, and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah Justice] Dr. Mahmoud Al-Habbash… said that the situation at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem is most dangerous.

He also said that it is forbidden for the Jews to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque plaza ‘not in a religious sense, but rather because this will lead to results of a religious nature and make the conflict religious, despite it not being such.’"
