Mugrabi Bridge

There is a passionate debate about the closure for repairs of the wooden bridge, connecting the Old City of Jerusalem and the al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple mountain.

The related statement by Hamas clearly belongs to my "Theatre of the absurd" section, even though the Muslim riots in Jerusalem are often more dangerous than absurd jokes:
"Hamas warned Monday that the Israeli closure of the Mugrabi Bridge is tantamount to a "declaration of war" on Muslim holy sites. “This is a serious step that shows the Zionist scheme of aggression against the al-Aqsa mosque,” said Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum in an interview with AFP. “This is a violent act that amounts to a declaration of religious war on the Muslim holy places in Jerusalem.”"
