AFP , Tuesday 25 Jul 2017

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas said on Tuesday he will maintain a freeze on coordination with Israel, despite the removal of controversial metal detectors at a highly sensitive Jerusalem holy site.

"Unless all measures go back to what they were before July 14, there will not be any changes," Abbas said in a speech ahead of a meeting with the Palestinian leadership of the date Israel temporarily closed the site after an attack that killed two policemen.
