Sheikh Ekrema Sabri Head of the Supreme Islamic Council and the Aqsa Mosque Friday preacher denounced the US president Donald Trump’s promise of moving the US Embassy to Occupied Jerusalem.
Sheikh Sabri said in his Friday Khutba (sermon) that Trump’s declared intention constitutes a declaration of war against Arabs and Muslims who must take action to prevent that step.
He also condemned the Israeli policy of home demolition and settlers’ incursions into the Aqsa Mosque which have increased in recent days. He also warned of selling Palestinians’ lands and estates to Israelis in Occupied Jerusalem.
Thousands of Palestinians performed Friday prayer at the Aqsa Mosque amid intensive deployment of Israeli military forces in the vicinity of the holy city.
