Well, let me assume that I believe what the Israeli administration is announcing about the works in the holy area around Al-Aqsa Mosque, only some needed restorations, nothing more nothing less. Wouldn't it be the most stupid step to be taken in such a sensitive timing?
Couldn't the Israeli administration coordinate this plan with the religious authorities in Jerusalem or even the so called moderate Arab regimes in the neighborhood as in Egypt or Jordan? They claim they got the UNISCO's approval, though sounds far to believe, but what if it is valid? Couldn't they just try and get some alignment from the concerned parties in the region? Would it be so difficult and sensitive? I personally don't think so.
I really believe that this administration – as the Sharon's one – is as stupid as ever, they just love to create problems, they are experts in techniques to divert attention away from the core cause. The occupation and its consequences. At last, Hamas and Fateh have reached a fragile agreement that needs a lot to hold up and prevail, but the Israeli stupid administration insists not to let peace flourish. They always manage to blow things up with such small and naïve moves, if you doubt it, go back to Mr. Sharon's visit to Al-Aqsa Mosque, the visit that started a 3 year Intifada and pushed all the attention and efforts from Oslo Treaty and all the efforts around it.
As they decided to stop it now, I hope – just simply hope – that nothing else will blow up the efforts to get the Palestinians into unanimity and coherence. And to Mr. Olmert, man you don't have to always act like an asshole, even if you are one!!!!!!!!!
