Abdul Qader: Israel Seeking Out Ways to Control Aqsa Mosque

Occupied Jerusalem, MINA – Former Minister of Jerusalem Affairs, Hatem Abdul Qader, warned of escalated Israeli endeavors to hold sway over holy al-Aqsa Mosque—Muslims’ 3rd holiest site.

On the eve of the 48th anniversary of the arson attack on al-Aqsa Mosque, Abdul Qader said that the flames of the fire are still ablaze, in reference to the ceaseless Israeli attempts to impose a new fait accompli at the site, PIC reported.

According to Abdul Qader, the Israeli restrictions at Al-Aqsa and crackdowns on Palestinian youth and Muslim guards are signs of underway attempts to wipe out Muslims’ presence at the site and alter the status quo.
