Head of Hamas political bureau Ismail Haneyya said that any attack by Israel on the Al-Aqsa Mosque would not go unanswered adding that the Palestinians would foil all schemes targeting the Muslim holy site in Occupied Jerusalem.
Speaking on the phone to a massive rally held in the Yemeni capital on the International Quds Day Haneyya added that Gaza cannot be isolated from any future confrontation especially “if Israel crossed red lines.”
Among the factors that encouraged Israel to implement its schemes aimed at spatially and temporally dividing the Al-Aqsa Mosque is normalizing ties and forging military and security alliances with some Arab governments Haneyya pointed out.
Calling on the Arab regimes that normalized relations with Israel to backtrack on this move which “harms the Al-Aqsa Mosque” the Hamas chief noted that Israel is exploiting normalization to legitimize its occupation of the Palestinian territories.
“The Israeli attempts to cross red lines might turn this bilateral conflict into a regional one” Haneyya continued stressing that there would be no security or stability in the region unless the Palestinian people regained their full rights.
