Al-Quds, MINA – The Waqf Agency in Al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Tuesday said that the Ar-Rahmah Gate at the Al-Aqsa Mosque would remain open and be renovated in the next two days.

The Affirmation of the Waqf Agency is a rejection of the deadline set by the Israeli occupation court so that the Ar-Rahmah Gate closed within a week. If it is not, a decision will be issued to close it, Palinfo reported.

The Members of the Waqf Board, Hatem Abdul Qader, said it was holding an emergency meeting to discuss developments around the Ar-Rahmah Gate and the closure by Israel.
