Sheikh Ekrima Sabri head of the Higher Islamic Council in Occupied Jerusalem has affirmed that the Bab al-Rahma prayer hall is an integral part of the Aqsa Mosque and cannot be waived.
In press remarks on Monday Sheikh Sabri said that the Israeli police’s attack on the Bab al-Rahma building and its persistence in preventing the Islamic Awqaf authorities from renovating it reflect its intents to impose its control over the entire eastern area of the Aqsa Mosque.
The Jerusalemite official stressed such aggressive Israeli actions violate all the international resolutions on freedom of worship.
He expressed his belief that the intensive presence of Muslim worshipers in the Aqsa Mosque’s Bab al-Rahma building during the holy month of Ramadan angered the Israeli occupation police and made it unveil its malicious intents to seize it.
He affirmed that the Bab al-Rahma building would always remain open to Muslim worshipers and their prayers
For the second consecutive day the Israeli police stormed the Bab al-Rahma prayer hall on Monday morning wreaked havoc on its new wiring system and other contents and prevented Muslim worshipers from entering.
