Hamas: All attempts to defile Aqsa on Sunday will not succeed

Member of Hamas’s political bureau Ezzat al-Resheq has expressed his confidence that the intents of extremist Jewish groups to defile the Aqsa Mosque en masse on Sunday to mark the destruction of alleged temples will be doomed to failure. In press remarks on Saturday, Resheq described the intended mass desecration of the Mosque by Jewish settlers and groups as part of Israel’s abortive attempts to divide the Islamic holy site between Muslims and Jews.

The Hamas official held the Israeli government fully responsible for the consequences of its complicity with Jewish extremist groups and the protection it provides for them, warning that the Palestinians would not stand idly by and would move to protect their Mosque. He urged the Palestinians in all occupied lands to march en masse to the Aqsa Mosque and confront any attempts by Jewish settlers to desecrate it on Sunday.
