Palestinian premier Ismail Haneyya Monday asked Al-Quds committee of the organization of the Islamic conference chaired by the King of Morocco to call for an urgent meeting to take responsible decisions to protect the Aqsa Mosque.
“The vicious attack against the holy Aqsa Mosque needs clear Arab and Muslim decisions with applicable mechanisms to protect the Mosque and the holy city,” Haneyya said addressing the King of Morocco.
“There is a danger looming from every direction and any Arab and Muslim delay in moving may tempt the occupation into taking further steps that could affect the present and future of the Mosque as well as its existence,” the premier added.
Premier Haneyya also phoned today Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the secretary-general of the organization of the Islamic conference, and urged him to develop a comprehensive plan for defending the occupied city of Jerusalem.
For the second day, Hamas is staging rallies and demonstration in the Gaza Strip to protest the incidents in the Old City.
