AL-AQSA FOUNDATION FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ISLAMIC SANCTUARIES HAS WARNED AGAINST THE ISRAELI EXCAVATIONS AROUND THE WALLS OF OLD JERUSALEM. THE FOUNDATION, IN A STATEMENT TODAY, SAID THESE EXCAVATIONS AIM AT THE JUDAIZATION OF JERUSALEM AND ELIMINATION OF ITS ARAB AND ISLAMIC CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES. THE FOUNDATION CALLED FOR FORMATION OF A COMMITTEE WHICH COMPRISES ARAB AND MUSLIM EXPERTS TO STUDY THE SITUATION OF THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM AS WELL AS OTHER ARAB, ISLAMIC AND CHRISTIAN ANTIQUITIES.
