Muslim religious officials in Jerusalem say that Israeli police have blocked them from installing security cameras at the city’s most sensitive religious site, despite a new agreement to place the surveillance equipment there.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced over the weekend an agreement between Israel and Jordan to install security cameras at the hilltop compound that has been at the center of weeks of unrest. Palestinians accuse Israel of trying to upset a delicate status quo at the site, which is revered by both Jews and Muslims.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has welcomed the plan, saying the cameras will prove that Israel is not doing anything wrong at the site.
But Azzam Khatib, director of the Islamic authority that oversees Muslim affairs at the site, said Monday that Israeli police prevented work crews from installing cameras at the entrance to the compound.
Israeli police had no immediate comment.

Israeli police say a stabbing in Tel Aviv was unrelated to the recent wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says an Israeli soldier was “very lightly injured” in a stabbing in Jaffa, a largely Arab area of Tel Aviv. She says the stabbing was of a “criminal” nature.
There have been almost daily Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings, against Israeli civilians and security forces in recent weeks. Ten Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, while 51 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, including 30 said by Israel to be attackers and the rest in clashes.

The Israeli military says a Palestinian stabbed an Israeli in the West Bank before being shot and killed.
According to the military, the Israeli was stabbed in the neck Monday and “severely wounded” at an intersection near the city of Hebron.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says initial reports indicated the Israeli was a soldier, but the military declined to say whether the person who was stabbed was a soldier.
It was the latest incident in weeks of almost daily Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces. In the past five weeks, 10 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings, while 51 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, including 30 said by Israel to be attackers and the rest in clashes.
