Egyptian newspaper El Aosboa describes Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to the Western Wall in apocalyptic terms:
Dr. Ahmed Fouad Anwar, an expert on Israeli affairs and a member of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs, said, "The truth is that what happened today is a provocation to the feelings of Arabs and Muslims....."He added in exclusive statements to Al-Usbu': "This action by the US Secretary of State and Netanyahu is a clear provocation, and is reminiscent of the events of 1929, when Muslims were provoked by encroachment on the Western Wall, an integral part of the Noble Sanctuary."Dr. Ahmed Fouad Anwar explained: "I remember that there is a segment of religious Jews who believe that visiting the Buraq Wall is not permissible because it is occupied by Zionists. Therefore, visiting the Haram is also prohibited, as are the courtyards or areas of the Haram."He continued, "I refer here to the Shaw Commission, which examined the 1929 events surrounding the Western Wall. The area was very narrow, and surrounded on all sides by homes of Moroccan Muslims. Attempts were made to install benches, benches, partitions, and barriers, which undermined the sacred religious character of the Noble Sanctuary. This was the spark that ignited the violent events surrounding these measures."Dr. Ahmed Fouad Anwar stated, "I believe that this provocation could have dire consequences, especially since within Israel, and among religious Jews in particular, there is a large segment of them who view this as a violation of Jewish law and unacceptable, while a small number of religious Zionists view such violations as acceptable and even desirable."
This is not the first time that an academic confuses wishful thinking for analysis. But his knowledge here is remarkably shallow - what Jews object to Rubio visiting the Kotel on religious grounds?
