Sheikh Ikrima Sabri head of the Higher Islamic Council in Occupied Jerusalem has strongly denounced the Israeli police for storming the Aqsa Mosque and attacking Muslim worshipers on Sunday morning describing their practices as “vengeful and aggressive.”
“We are aware and know well that the Likud party is secular and not religious and it is leaning on extremist right-wing parties to stay in power. It is a shaky government whose job is to please the radical right” Sheikh Sabri said.
He affirmed that the break-ins at the Aqsa Mosque by Jewish groups and settlers cannot take place without the protection provided for them by the Israeli police.
The Palestinian cleric also said that the scenes of massive Muslim crowds at the Aqsa Mosque during the holy month of Ramada raised the ire of Israeli police and made them storm the holy site today and show off their military arrogance.
He saluted all Palestinian worshipers who defended the Aqsa Mosque and remained steadfast in the face of Israeli violations.
