this article, which doesn't say much:

A wooden footbridge (below) leading up from the Western Wall to the sacred compound where al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock (L) shrine stand, is seen in Jerusalem's Old City November 28, 2011. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed demolition of the footbridge at Jerusalem's holiest and most volatile site, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount, fearing the work could spark Muslim anger, government officials said on Monday.

This looks like a nice bridge, but what's the point? Would renovation/demolition spark the fear like it did some years ago with the construction under the Al-Aqsa Mosque: "OMG, the zionists plan to destroy holy sites!"
I mean what is the alternative: "Keep on using it, till it falls apart and buries some people with it? Then it would be"OMG, the Zionists deliberately killed people by not renovating it!"
Maybe I am just too rational or agnostic to understand this...
