Jordan's King Abdullah II, meeting with President Shimon Peres, subsequently said that he expects Israel to refrain from unilaterally demolishing the Mughrabi Bridge.
"Israel must refrain from any step that will damage the character of Jerusalem or sites that are sacred to Islam or Christianity," Abdullah said, according to Israeli officials.
Now, ask yourself, how can the improvement of the entrance to the Temple Mount which involved closing off a wodden structure built just a few years ago outside the Temple Mount (and leaving eight other entrances open) "damage the character of Jerusalem" or its sacred sites?
Who, now, doesn't know his history or his geography?

Thing is - that "rickety bridge" has been the ONLY entrance for non-Muslims... Muslims have all the others and don't use that one (unless they are with me on tour, since that's the only one I can use).
Now - it's closed... when will it be demolished and a new one built? Anyone's guess...
Meanwhile - no going to the Temple Mount during Hanukkah, the holiday that centers around the Temple itself!
