U.S. Condemns Palestinian Claim on Western Wall in Jerusalem
(U.S. State Department) State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley said Tuesday: "Regarding a claim by a senior Palestinian official that the Western Wall is an Islamic Waqf, we strongly condemn these comments and fully reject them as factually incorrect, insensitive, and highly provocative. We have repeatedly raised with the Palestinian Authority leadership the need to consistently combat all forms of delegitimization of Israel, including denying historic Jewish connections to the land."
