The site of Saturday Square or Kikar Hashabat, the ultra-Orthodox Jewish news website, was published last Tuesday, a copy of which was removed from the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and replaced by a structure that radical Jews demand to be rebuilt on this site.
The US embassy said in a statement that the composite picture of Jerusalem was paid to Friedman without his knowledge during a visit to a charity in Bnei Brak near Tel Aviv. 

"The ambassador was deeply disappointed to try to use his visit to Bnei Brak to provoke controversy," she said. 

"The US policy is very clear: we support the status quo," the US embassy said. 

The most widely circulated newspaper in Jerusalem quoted a picture of Ambassador Friedman in front of a picture of Jerusalem, mediated by a model of a large structure with a broad smile. 

The picture angered the Palestinian Authority.

"The appearance of Friedman smiling with a picture of the ruins of the Dome of the Rock with this smile shows the approval of the United States and its approval of such an act," said PLO chief executive Saeb Erekat. 

"How long will these despicable and despicable acts remain without an Arab and Islamic response that would amount to the status and grandeur of the Al-Aqsa Mosque?" He asked. 

"This is a provocative step, a racist gesture and a criminal incitement against the destruction of the Al - Aqsa Mosque," said the Palestinian judge and Palestinian religious advisor Mahmoud al-Habash . 

"The removal of Islamic holy sites in the city of Jerusalem is a racist target for extremists and the extreme right," al-Habash said in a statement carried by the Palestinian news agency WAFA.

He warned of the Israeli steps in the city of Jerusalem, saying that it "pave the way for a religious war will burn the green and land and will fire all of them." 

The Holy Haram includes the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock is the first of the two Qibla and the third of the two Holy Mosques to Muslims, and the center of the occupied Old City of Jerusalem. 

Al-Aqsa Mosque is located in East Jerusalem, captured by Israel in 1967. 
Israel considers Jerusalem as its capital as its "eternal and united" capital while the Palestinians want to make East Jerusalem the capital of their desired state. 

This image may fuel Palestinian anger, especially after Washington moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on 14 September, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the Nakba and the displacement of more than 760,000 Palestinians in the 1948 war. 

The embassy said it had demanded an official apology from the brotherhood The official gave the picture to Friedman.

"One of its employees presented the picture with his own initiative without consulting others, and we regret a small political leadership that led to the corruption of this event," the Israeli media quoted a statement by the association as saying. 

The American ambassador is known for his extreme positions in favor of settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories and is not welcome among Palestinians. 

On March 19, Palestinian President Abbas described the US ambassador as "the son of a dog." 

Jerusalem is at the heart of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. 

Recognizes Israel , which signed a peace treaty with Jordan in 1994, under the supervision of the Kingdom of Jordan on the Islamic holy sites in the city. 

The Jews consider the Wailing Wall or Al-Buraq, which is located beneath the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the last remnant of the Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70, the holiest place.

The Islamic Waqf Department reiterates its complaint that Israeli police allow settlers and Jewish extremists to tamper with and violate the sanctity of the Aqsa Mosque. 

The Jordanian government also regularly condemns the repeated "storming" of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. 

The group of hardline Jewish religious trustees wants to build the Temple of Solomon Temple, the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and re-practice the ritual of purification. The group is building models for the occupied city of Jerusalem, with the building of the desired structure. 

On every Jewish Passover, the "Temple Trustees" group carries out a large rock that they consider the cornerstone for building the Temple and demands that the Israeli police allow it to be brought into the courtyards of the Temple to put the rock there.
