Palestinian: UN chief apologize for saying Jerusalem had a Jewish Temple
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. January 30, 2017, 6:35 PM (IDT)
Palestinians furiously demand an apology from the new UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for saying in an Israeli radio interview that it was “completely clear that the Temple that the Romans destroyed in Jerusalem was a Jewish temple.” He added, “No one can deny that Jerusalem is holy to three religions today, including Judaism.
On Sunday, Adnan al-Husseini, the Palestinian Authority’s Jerusalem Affairs minister, told the Chinese news service Xinhua that Guterres “ignored UNESCO’s decision that considered the Al-Aqsa mosque of pure Islamic heritage.” He also said Guterres “violated all legal, diplomatic and humanitarian customs and overstepped his role as secretary general … and must issue an apology to the Palestinian people.”
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
