Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher Sheikh Ismail Nawahda on Friday called on Muslims Arabs and Palestinians to adhere to their rights and defend their holy sites particularly al-Aqsa Mosque.
He affirmed that Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque belong to Muslims only and that the Israeli violations attacks and incursions carried out on a daily basis in addition to the settlement plans aimed at altering the status quo in Jerusalem will not change this fact.
Sheikh Nawahda asked Arabs and Muslims to unite to forget their disputes and own interests and not to give up any of their rights under any condition.
Tens of thousands of Muslim worshipers from Jerusalem and the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories performed Friday prayer at al-Aqsa Mosque amid tight Israeli security measures.
