The Palestinian Higher Fatwa Council has appealed for providing every support for the Jerusalemites to help them preserve the national identity and confront Israel’s Judaization activities.
This came in a statement released following the council’s 160th session that was chaired on Thursday in the holy city by Sheikh Mohamed Hussein the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
The council strongly denounced the Israeli civil administration for demolishing for the fifth consecutive time two school classrooms in Abul-Anwar Bedouin community east of occupied Jerusalem.
The council also condemned the Israeli occupation authority for closing several Jerusalemite institutions in the holy city and imposing taxes on Churches and monasteries describing such Israeli measures as “a new crime against the city and a violation of the international law.”
It also deplored the recent attack by a Jewish settler on Hassan Bek Mosque in Jaffa city saying that such aggressive act reflected the settlers’ racism and their hatred of the Palestinian people and their holy sites.
It stressed that such Israeli violations and practices would only increase the Palestinian people’s steadfastness on their land and their adherence to their holy sites.
