Islamic Movement warns of fresh Al-Aqsa Mosque entries

The Islamic Movement in 1948 occupied Palestine has warned that the Israelis would make their next move on Al-Aqsa Mosque as the public is preoccupied with controversy over the PLO chairman’s current bid to seek UN membership for the Palestinians.

Ultra-orthodox Jewish organizations backed by international Jewish agencies, evangelicals, and the Israeli establishment have called for entering Al-Aqsa Mosque during upcoming Jewish holidays, a Saturday statement by the Islamic Movement said.

This comes in anticipation of the opening of many tunnels connecting Al-Aqsa Mosque to East Al-Quds’ Silwan district as well as with Islamic and Umayyad artifacts falsely claimed by the Israelis as Jewish.

The statement warns that such steps are aimed at creating a de facto situation with Jewish dominance of Muslim holy sites as has already taken place with the Ibrahimi Mosque in Al-Khalil.

Such policies no longer avail at a time when every Palestinian knows that Palestine is an exclusive right of the Palestinians, the statement says.

“Attempts aimed at conferring legitimacy for Israel by covering the land with biblical encodings will not avail, and the Israeli establishment will pay the price for violations of Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the statement says.

“The repeated entries of the mosque by fascists and rightists of all compositions under the protection of Israeli police and various security forces will not give you the right even on a single grain of dust or air in Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the Islamic Movement said, addressing the Israelis.
