Gaza, MINA – Hamas official Haroun Nasser Al-Din warned of the danger posed by settlers’ practices inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque, including Torah study circles, rituals and group prayers, saying they represent a blatant and frenzied assault on the identity of the Arab and Islamic nation, the sanctity and status of the Mosque, and a new fascist Judaization push against Palestinian holy sites as part of Israel’s religious war on Jerusalem.
In a statement on Wednesday, Nasser Al-Din said the Al-Aqsa Mosque will remain exclusively Islamic, and that all attempts by Israel and settlers to alter or erase its features, or impose their rituals inside it, will not grant them any right or legitimacy and will not change the Palestinian people’s and the Muslim nation’s rightful claim to it.
He called for intensified presence and steadfastness at the Mosque and for support for Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem as they confront plans of annexation and Judaization. Nasser Al-Din said the escalation of these practices requires urgent action at all official and popular levels to support Jerusalemites as they face incursions, abuse and expulsion orders.
He stressed that attempts to impose temporal and spatial division and seize control of the Al-Aqsa Mosque will be confronted by the will, steadfastness and continued resistance of the Palestinian people, regardless of how far Israel goes in its brutality and crimes. He called on Palestinians and the Arab and Islamic nations to shoulder their responsibilities toward the Al-Aqsa Mosque and prevent settler incursions and Judaization rituals from becoming normalized.[]
