AhlulBayt News Agency - Sheikh Taysir al-Tamimi, secretary-general of the Supreme Muslim Council in Jerusalem, has warned that Israel's plan to build a complex called "Kedem – City of David," will be the most dangerous Judaization project threatening Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.
In press remarks to Quds Press, Sheikh Tamimi said that Israel's approval of this project is part of its schemes aimed at Judaizing the entirety of Jerusalem and obliterating its Arab and Islamic landmarks, pointing out that Israel started to prepare for the building of Kedem complex years ago.
He expressed his belief that the absence of any Arab or Islamic role in carrying out projects in Jerusalem encouraged Israel to launch its project Kedem.
The Israeli national council for planning and building recently approved a plan, which had been submitted by the settler group Elad, to build a complex called "the Kedem project- City of David- Old City of Jerusalem" at the main entrances of Wadi Hilweh neighborhood in Silwan district near the Aqsa Mosque.
Elad's Kedem center will become the largest Jewish tourist center in the holy, marketing its religious and nationalist ideology to hundreds of thousands of visitors per year.
The project will include Elad's offices, stores, a museum named the "shrine of the bible," a stop for cable cars and parking lots.
