EJERUSALEM — Kugquba ukruthakruthwano emva kokuba kuqhambuke ungquzulwano kwiSixeko esiDala saseJerusalem ngeCawe kwindawo yonqulo lwamaSilamsi i-Al-Aqsa, indawo ehlonitshwa ngamaSilamsi kunye namaJuda ethe yaba sisiphene kuMbindi Mpuma.
Ulutsha lwasePalestine lwagibisela ngamatye amapolisa akwa-Israel, awayesasazwe kuzo zonke izitrato ezixineneyo zeSixeko esiDala, kwaye amapolisa aphindezela ngeziqhushumbisi ezothusayo, amangqina athi.
Amapolisa athi amajoni ali-17 enzakala kolu ngquzulwano kwaye kwabanjwa abantu abali-11. AmaNgqina anike ingxelo yokubona malunga neshumi elinesibini lamaPalestina abonzakeleyo.
Uthethathethwano lwasePalestine uSaeb Erakat uthe u-Israel ebenyusa ngabom ukungavisisani “ngexesha uMongameli (uBarack) Obama ezama ukuvala umsantsa phakathi kwamaPalestine nama-Israel, kunye nokubuyisela uthethathethwano endleleni.”
“Ukukhapha amapolisa kubahlali abachasene noxolo nangayiphi na indlela, kwaye ubukho babo benzelwe ngabom ukuxhokonxa abantu, ayizozenzo zomntu ozinikele eluxolweni,” utshilo.
E-Cairo, i-Arab League ibonise "umsindo ogqithisileyo" malunga nento ebizwa ngokuba "lunyanzeliso olucwangcisiweyo" yimikhosi yezokhuseleko yase-Israel eyayivumele "ii-Zionist extremist" kwi-mosque compound.
UJordan wabiza unozakuzaku wakwa-Israyeli e-Amman ngoqhanqalazo “lokunyuka” kukaSirayeli.
Emva kwemini kwabakho ukuzola kweso sixeko sidumileyo, kukho inyambalala yamapolisa ezulazula kwizitrato ezimxinwa nemiqobo eyayibekwe kumasango athile akufutshane neendonga zeso sixeko ezineminyaka engama-400 ubudala.
"Kukho amapolisa amaninzi kwisiXeko esiDala ... Ngokubanzi, izinto zithe cwaka," isithethi samapolisa uMicky Rosenfeld uxelele i-AFP.
Amapolisa kunye namangqina athi uqhushululu lwaqhambuka emva kokuba iqela labakhenkethi lingene kwindawo ye-mosque, eyaziwa ngamaSilamsi njenge-Al-Haram Al-Sharif (iNdawo eNoble) kunye namaYuda njengeNtaba yeTempile.
Ekuqaleni amapolisa athi eli qela lenziwe ngabanquli abangamaYuda, kodwa kamva bathi ngabakhenkethi baseFransi.
"Iqela elihlaselwe ngamatye kwindawo ye-mosque eneneni liqela labakhenkethi baseFransi abangengawo amaYuda abatyelele njengenxalenye yohambo lwabo," utshilo isithethi samapolisa aseJerusalem uShmuel Ben Ruby.
Kusenokwenzeka ukuba iindwendwe zaziphazamile njengabanquli abangamaYuda ngenxa yokuba iqela lamaYuda angama-200 ubukhulu becala benkolo nabangasekunene babehlanganisene kwakusasa esangweni apho amapolisa ayevumela abakhenkethi ukuba bangene kwindawo engcwele.
“Kwakukho iqela elikhulu labemi abangamaYuda ababehlanganisene ngaphandle kwe-Al-Aqsa baza bazama ukuqhekeza,” latsho ingqina lasePalestina elaliza kunika igama lakhe kuphela njengo-Abu Raed.
“Abanye babo bangena kwaye baya kumbindi wenkomponi, apho kwakukho abantu ababethandaza … yayingabahlali abangamaYuda ababenxibe njengabakhenkethi,” watsho.
Emva kokungena kwindawo ethe saa, eli qela lajongana nabathembekileyo abangama-150 abangamaSilamsi abacula baza ekugqibeleni bagibisela amatye, ngelo xesha amapolisa abakhupha abakhenkethi bavala isango, amapolisa namangqina athi.
Ngokukhawuleza emva kolu ngquzulwano, amapolisa avala indawo evalelweyo.
Umbutho wamaSilamsi weHamas olawula iGaza ugxeke "ukwanda okuyingozi" kwaye wacela uqhanqalazo. “Lo msebenzi unoxanduva olupheleleyo lwazo zonke iziphumo kunye nophuhliso oluya kulandela kolu lwaphulo-mthetho,” utshilo.
Baqikelelwa ukuba abantu abangama-3,000 baphume kwisiXeko saseGaza kamva ngeCawe besiya kuqhanqalazo "lokukhusela i-mosque," amangqina athi.
Ikhompawundi ye-mosque ye-Al-Aqsa ikweyona ndawo ingcwele kubuYuda kunye neyesithathu-ngcwele kubuSilamsi, kwaye ibisoloko iyindawo yobundlobongela base-Israel-yasePalestina.
Uqhankqalazo lwesibini lwasePalestina, okanye intifada, lwaqhambuka apho emva kokuba owayesakuba yinkulumbuso yakwaSirayeli uAriel Sharon enze utyelelo olwalunempikiswano ngoSeptemba ka-2000.
U-Israyeli wathimba isiXeko esiDala saseYerusalem ukusuka eJordani ngexesha leMfazwe yeeNtsuku eziNtathu zowe-1967 kwaye kamva wasihlomela kunye namanye ama-Arabhu asempuma yeYerusalem ngenyathelo elingamkelwanga luluntu lwezizwe ngezizwe.
