Al-Aqsa Mosque Director Calls on Residents to Intensify Their Presence

Jerusalem, MINA – The Director of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Omar Al-Kiswani, called on residents to intensify their presence at the Mosque, while maintaining public health protocols.

Shaykh Al-Kiswani’s call was in response to the provocative campaign of Jewish settlers to storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque ahead of Eid al-Adha. Palinfo reported on Wednesday, July 15.

Al-Kiswani points out that the Waqf Board does not recognize the colonial court, and Al-Rahmah Gate which is an integral part of Al-Aqsa Mosque will remain open to worshipers.

Al-Kiswani explained the Gate of Al-Rahmah had been closed for 14 years by the occupation with weak claims. The occupation tried to divide it, until it finally emptied it from the worshipers.
