Security Cabinet decides to remove metal detectors from Temple Mount
The Israeli Security Cabinet met Monday night to discuss the options regarding the metal detectors that were placed at the entrance to the Temple Mount following the terror attack which killed two policemen.
The Cabinet came to the decision to remove the metal detectors after accepting security body suggestions. In place of the detectors, advanced technological equipment will be put in place in order to increase the security at the site.
The Cabinet decided to increase police presence until the transfer had been completed in order to maintain visitors security. The Cabinet decided to implement a budget of 100 million shekels in order to implement the plan.
This technological solution is the result of intensive discussions the police held over the last week with leading security firms to find an alternative to the metal detectors that enraged the Palestinians and part of the Muslim world and threatened to trigger a new round of violence.
