DOHA (PIC)– Dr. Yousef al-Qardawi chairman of the trustees of Al-Quds International Institution sent an urgent appeal to all Arab and Muslim leaders asking them to shoulder their responsibilities towards occupied Jerusalem especially after the occupation authorities announced their intention to demolish 88 Palestinian buildings and displace 1500 Palestinian residents from the Bustan neighbourhood to the south of the Aqsa Mosque.
Qardawi explained that the new onslaught on east Jerusalem is the most dangerous since it was occupied in 1967 pointing out that the occupation aims to empty Jerusalem of its indigenous population and replace them with Jewish immigrants so that they can have a purely Jewish Jerusalem on the remains of Muslim and Christian holy places.
He stressed that leaders should shoulder their responsibilities at this critical stage of the Israeli efforts to Judaize Jerusalem explaining that what is taking place at al-Bustan neighbourhood is the most critical part of the Israeli scheme.
He also said that nothing will convince the Israeli occupation not to go ahead with its scheme but the realisation that it will pay a high price for such a scheme adding that stopping this scheme is possible through political diplomatic and legal means.
