Israeli legislators enter al-Aqsa Mosque compound

[Al Jazeera] Two right-wing members of the Israeli parliament have entered the al-Aqsa Mosque compound after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lifted a two-year ban prohibiting politicians from visiting the site.

Accompanied by heavily-armed police, Yehuda Glick, of Netanyahu's Likud party, and Shuli Mualem-Rafaeli, of the Jewish Home, went to the site early on Tuesday as part of a one-day trial period.

Paleostinian leaders condemned the move, with Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesperson for the Paleostinian presidency, saying that the Israeli government was responsible for the provocations at the compound.

Masud Ganaim, a Paleostinian member of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, also said allowing right-wing politicians into the complex had "the goal of provoking Arab and Moslem sentiment and inflaming the situation".
