The Hamas Movement’s spokesman Fawzi Barhoum slammed the US ambassador to Israel David Friedman for his cheerfulness to receive a picture of Occupied Jerusalem from Jewish settler groups showing the holy city with the famous view of the Dome of Rock replaced by the alleged Jewish temple.
In a press statement on Wednesday Barhoum described the behavior of Friedman who was smiling while receiving the picture as a racist action that reflects the US-Israeli serious partnership in attacking the Palestinian Arab and Islamic holy places.
Barhoum perceived this step as inciting the demolition of al-Aqsa Mosque and called for taking serious actions by Arabs and Muslims to protect the holy site and to support the steadfastness of the Jerusalemite people.
