Riots on the Temple Mount, April 15, 2022 (Israel Police Spokeswoman)

The chairman of Ra'am Mansour Abbas this morning (Friday) referred to the clashes between the police and the Palestinian worshipers on the Temple Mount and said that "the continued damage to the al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line for us and for the stability of the coalition."

He said, "There is no political consideration in the matter of the Al-Aqsa Mosque."

On behalf of the party it was reported that its representatives are condemning any invasion of the mosque.

"The blessed al-Aqsa is a pure right of Muslims, and the repeated daily invasions constitute a violation of this pure right, and provoke angry reactions."

According to them, "the real solution lies in preventing any non-Muslim person from entering the Temple Mount."

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry also condemned the police attack on the al-Aqsa Mosque.

He said, "This is a serious violation and we call on the Israeli authorities to remove the police immediately from the mosque compound. This is a serious escalation and the responsibility for maintaining the mosque's peace lies with Israel."

The Minister of Internal Security, Amar Bar-Lev, also responded to the clashes.

"We have repeatedly said that we will do our best to allow freedom of worship on the Temple Mount, and this reality has not changed. The policemen who are there work with great courage and in difficult conditions, while they have had to confront violent elements who collected stones and iron rods to violate freedom of worship on the mountain and the Western Wall. It is a matter of the Temple Mount becoming a center of violence, which will harm both the Muslim worshipers there and the Jewish worshipers at the Western Wall. "

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett this morning held a situation assessment with the participation of the Minister of Internal Security, the Commissioner of Police and the Border Police Commander and receives updates on the events on the Temple Mount.

Police earlier reported three policemen wounded in the clashes, and the Red Crescent said 90 Palestinians were injured in the incident.

In the wake of the clashes, security officials have begun talks with senior officials on the Temple Mount and various organizations to calm the area and bring about a quiet aliyah to the prayers of tens of thousands of worshipers.
