My Way News - Israel lifts Muslim age limits for Jerusalem site
My Way News reports: "A Jerusalem holy site at the heart of recent tensions between Israelis
and Palestinians was quiet on Friday, police said, after age
restrictions for Muslim men who wanted to pray there were lifted for the
first time in weeks, but minor clashes with Palestinian protesters
continued in the West Bank. [...] The development came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Jordan's King Abdullah II in an attempt to restore calm in the holy city that has seen months of tension and violent confrontations."
Comment: Here is a good example of Israel making a concession (yet again) to cool tensions and promote peace. Let's see if the Palestinians reciprocate with an equally meaningful gesture.
