<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; The Religious Affairs  Ministry in Gaza reiterated its denouncement of Israel’s approval of a  major Jewish synagogue to be built in the heart of the holy city,  claiming that the plan is part of a series of synagogues aimed at  Judaizing the Islamic holy sites and erasing the city’s archeological  landmarks.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Religious Affairs Minister Talib Abu  Sha’ar said Sunday that silence from Arabs, Muslims, and international  organizations over the opening of the Kharab synagogue near the Aqsa  Mosque six months back has given Israel the green light to continue  plans to erect illegitimate synagogues in the area.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abu Sha’ar said the Kharab synagogue has attracted more than 40,000 Jewish and foreign tourists.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Israeli party responsible for building  the new synagogue, dubbed Taf’urat Israel, is a Jewish neighborhood  development company that has invested NIS 40 million into the project.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abu Sha’ar, also president of the  Jerusalem Committee, said the building of the 26-meter high Jewish  temple is expected to stretch out over the next five years. Its height  he says is intended to serve as an observation point overlooking all  areas of Jerusalem in the region.</p>
