Israel removes Jerusalem flashpoint security apparatus Muslim leaders have lifted a boycott of a key holy site in East Jerusalem after Israel removed the last of the security measures which had led to an uproar. They urged Palestinians to re-enter the compound for the first time since the crisis erupted two weeks ago. The last remnants of Israel's recently installed security apparatus were taken away this morning. Palestinians had fiercely objected to the measures introduced after the killing of two Israeli Policemen. They were refrained from entering the Old City complex known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount in protest over what they saw as an Israeli attempt to exert control over the contested site.
