RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron, 12 January 2022. The Israeli authorities are carrying out archaeological excavations in near the Ibrahimi Mosque, in the West Bank city of Hebron. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Jamal Abu Aram, Director General of the Hebron's Awqaf. STORYLINE: Israel has steadily taken control of the mosque to facilitate worship by the small group of illegal Jewish settlers who have moved into the centre of the Old City at the expense of the indigenous Palestinian inhabitants. Access to the mosque for Muslim worship is controlled tightly by the Israeli authorities and, on occasion, is banned altogether. Moreover, in order to carry out the $1.4 million project, which includes a wheelchair-accessible path and the construction of an aerial bridge to connect to the upper staircase of the mosque, Israel will have to take full control of the site and the land around it.
