Israel said it would not remove metal detectors whose installation outside a major Jerusalem mosque has triggered the bloodiest clashes with the Palestinians in years, but could eventually reduce their use, Reuters reports.
"They (metal detectors) will remain. The murderers will never tell us how to search the murderers," Tzachi Hanegbi, Israeli minister for regional development said.
"If they (Palestinians) do not want to enter the mosque, then let them not enter the mosque."
