REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, RAMALLAH -- The Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has decided to ask the UN Security Council to provide protection to Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki said on Wednesday.

Al-Maliki told Voice of Palestine radio that the OIC made the decision at the urgent meeting of OIC foreign ministers held Tuesday in Istanbul, Turkey.

The ministers discussed the situation in East Jerusalem, where Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters had clashed over Israel's restrictions on Muslims' access to the holy site.

That the OIC went beyond the tradition of only issuing verbal denunciation of Israel to adopt practical proposals to be implemented soon, Al-Maliki said.

He said the OIC also called for providing financial support to strengthen the steadfastness of the Palestinians in Jerusalem and to boycott Israeli settlements' products.

A committee was formed by the OIC to determine the mechanisms for implementing the outcome of the meeting, Al-Maliki added.

Israel's installation of metal detectors and cameras at the entrances to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound since July 14 after a shooting accident triggered off widespread protests from Palestinians and the Muslim word.

The compound was regarded as the third holiest site in Islam, while also revered by Jews as the holiest site. The Palestinians and Muslim world denounced the Israeli security measures as an attempt to claim further control over the site.

Under pressure, Israel removed all the detectors and cameras last week, though maintaining the restrictions that bar Palestinians under 50 from prayers at the mosque.

Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Apabila kamu hendak melaksanakan salat, maka basuhlah wajahmu dan tanganmu sampai ke siku, dan sapulah kepalamu dan (basuh) kedua kakimu sampai ke kedua mata kaki. Jika kamu junub, maka mandilah. Dan jika kamu sakit atau dalam perjalanan atau kembali dari tempat buang air (kakus) atau menyentuh perempuan, maka jika kamu tidak memperoleh air, maka bertayamumlah dengan debu yang baik (suci); usaplah wajahmu dan tanganmu dengan (debu) itu. Allah tidak ingin menyulitkan kamu, tetapi Dia hendak membersihkan kamu dan menyempurnakan nikmat-Nya bagimu, agar kamu bersyukur.

(QS. Al-Ma'idah ayat 6)
