Al-Aqsa Worshipers Pray for Morsi

Jerusalem, MINA – Muslim Worshipers at Palestinian Al-Aqsa Mosque carried out supernatural prayers for Mohammed Morsi who died on Monday June 17 in a court.

They prayed for this former Egyptian president after evening prayer on Monday night at the mosque in the occupied Old City of East Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance movement Hamas issued a statement of gratitude to Morsi for its efforts to “help Palestinians” and its attitude towards Gaza Strip.

Hamas recalls “Morsi’s unforgettable and courageous position and his efforts to lift the blockade.” Daily Sabah reported.

During Morsi’s reign, Cairo eased the restrictions on travel and trade in the Gaza-Egypt Strip significantly.
