AhlulBayt News Agency - The tension surrounding the holy al-Aqsa Mosque will only be soothed if the Israeli occupation of Palestine is over, Head of the Islamic Movement in 1948 Occupied Palestine, Sheikh Raed Salah, said Sunday.
Speaking in a press statement, Sheikh Salah said the simmering tension rocking Occupied Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque can only be relieved if the Israeli occupation is removed.
“The Israeli crimes against al-Aqsa have been ongoing,” Sheikh Salah said, warning of Israeli sacrilegious schemes at al-Aqsa to celebrate the Passover.
“What is going on at al-Aqsa makes part of an Israeli plan of spatio-temporal division pending the construction of the alleged temple mount on the ruins of the Dome of the Rock,” he warned.
“Israel has been imposing its sovereignty over al-Aqsa by force at the same time as hundreds of Palestinians have been subjected to arbitrary abductions and banned from the site,” Sheikh Salah added.
A horde of 158 Israeli fanatic settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday in an attempt to perform sacrilegious rituals, sparking tension at and around the site.
The Israeli occupation police banned three Palestinian youngsters from al-Aqsa as they voiced their protest at the settler break-ins.
