AhlulBayt News Agency - The Israeli Occupation Authority (IOA) decided to close al-Haram al-Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil city to Muslims on Monday and Tuesday while it will be open only for settlers at the pretext of the Passover Jewish holiday.
The manager of the Mosque Hefthi Abu Snaineh, told Quds Press that the Palestinian Awqaf refused the Israeli resolution, and expected thousands of Jews would storm the Muslims’ holy site after calls had been made urging settlers to celebrate the Passover holiday inside the Mosque.
The IOA deliberately close the Ibrahimi Mosque during Jewish holidays based on resolutions of Shamgar Commission which was formed after the Israeli massacre in the Ibrahimi Mosque in 1994. Other resolutions were made including dividing the mosque temporally and closing it to Muslims for certain periods.
