Occupied Jerusalem - SANA

The Palestinian Ministry of Endowments called on the international community to take urgent action to protect Islamic and Christian sanctities, and to stop the attacks of the Israeli occupation and settlers, warning of the danger of the continuation of these aggressive practices in the occupied city of Jerusalem.

WAFA news agency quoted the Minister of Awqaf, Hatem al-Bakri, as saying in a report he issued today about the occupation’s violations of the holy places during the year 2022: “The occupation forces and settlers have escalated their aggression against the Palestinians and their sanctities, foremost of which is the Al-Aqsa Mosque, by increasing the frequency of storming it, and the number of settlers storming to more than 48,000.” settler during the past year, coinciding with the increase in provocative tours.

Al-Bakri pointed out that the occupation turned the city of Jerusalem and the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque into a military barracks, and imposed more restrictions and restrictions on the movement of Palestinians, by assaulting, beating, arresting and deporting even during the month of Ramadan, and determining the ages of the groups that are allowed to enter and pray in the mosque, which constitutes a flagrant attack on Millions of Muslims, and a blatant attack on the powers of the Islamic Endowments Department and its legal right to supervise the organization of the movement of worshipers to and from the mosque.

Al-Bakri renewed his warning of the serious dangers facing Al-Aqsa, as a result of the continued excavations of the occupation in the vicinity of the mosque and below it, which led to an increase in cracks in its structure, foundations, and walls, and the fall of dust from the columns of the old Al-Aqsa prayer hall.

Al-Bakri emphasized that what the occupation is doing is part of its plan to Judaize Al-Aqsa and the Ibrahimi Mosque, organized terrorism and a violation of relevant international laws, in an attempt to change the historical and legal reality that exists not only in the mosque, but in all of occupied Jerusalem, with the aim of eliminating any opportunity to establish an independent Palestinian state. Its capital is Jerusalem.

Regarding the Ibrahimi Mosque, al-Bakri pointed out the continuation of the violations of the occupation and settlers by digging and bulldozing works, with the aim of changing its cultural and historical features, preventing all forms of restoration and maintenance, and continuing to build the electric elevator in it with the aim of Judaizing it.
