Sheikh Kamal al-Khatib former deputy head of the Islamic Movement in the 1948 occupied lands has warned that the growing daily desecration of the Aqsa Mosque by Jewish settlers could pave the way to Israel’s control over the Islamic holy site.
“The occupation government is trying to convey a message to our people and nation that the Aqsa Mosque is shared with you until we reach a moment when they declare that the Mosque belongs to them and the Muslims have no right to it” Sheikh Khatib stated on Sunday.
“The official Arab Islamic and Palestinian situation is in collusion with the Israeli establishment. There are parties who formulated the deal of the century and agreed to it and this has encouraged the Israeli establishment to underestimate the insincere statements made [by these parties] towards the Aqsa Mosque because it knows for sure they were false and deceptive remarks and that the Arab parties accept the current situation in Jerusalem” he underlined.
However he expressed his belief that the Palestinian people know well how to defend their national cause and when to show their anger and are able to liberate their own land.
“We are confident that the night of the occupation will be gone and that our people will never abandon their land and holy sites” he said.
