Invoking the claim that Israel wants to “Judaize” the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, a Hamas official has called on Jerusalem Arabs to commit violence in order to “defend” their holy site on the eve of Hanukkah, Israel National News reported Tuesday.
Saying that “the occupation government and settler groups continue to harm” Muslim holy sites and “especially” Al-Aqsa, Hamas’s Jerusalem office head Haroun Nasser al-Din charged that they had “abominable plans” to turn the mosque “into a Jewish synagogue.”
In his announcement, made through the Palestinian news agency Quds Fars, al-Din said that “particularly the [Arab] residents of Jerusalem … will never allow the occupation to rob their mosque.”
They are “the tip of this spear and they are willing to sacrifice themselves” as they did in previous “uprisings,” he added, referring specifically to violent Palestinian riots in the capital in 1996, 2017, and 2021.
