The most senior cleric at Judaism’s holiest site condemned on Wednesday what he called the Islamic trust’s “incitement” against plans to refurbish visitor restrooms in the complex.

Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the top religious official responsible for the Western Wall in Jerusalem, released a statement to the press saying that the Waqf, the Muslim religious trust charged with overseeing the Islamic sites on Temple Mount, is exploiting plans to expand restroom service in order to falsely accuse Israel of seeking to desecrate Muslim shrines.
