Political bureau member of Hamas Husam Badran on Sunday dubbed a projected visit by the U.S. Vice President Mike Pence to the Buraq Wall a provocation to the Palestinian people.
According to Badran the visit comes as part of U.S. and Israeli intents to impose a new fait accompli on the city following the U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Badran called on the Palestinians across the occupied territories to escalate protests and uprisings at all flashpoints with the Israeli occupation particularly near Jerusalem and al-Aqsa in protest at underway attempts by the U.S. administration-backed Israel to Judaize the city.
Badran vowed that the Palestinians will never ever forfeit a single inch of occupied Jerusalem no matter the stakes and challenges.
The Hamas leader hailed the Palestinian martyrs injured protests and prisoners who have stood so firm throughout the anti-occupation struggle urging the Palestinians to combine forces so as to defend Occupied Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque.
Senior Trump administration officials outlined their view Friday that Jerusalem’s Buraq Wall (Western Wall) ultimately will be declared a part of Israel in another move that has enflamed tension across the Middle East and other parts of the world.
Historical records however prove that the Buraq Wall is part and parcel of holy al-Aqsa Mosque.
