Arab normalization with the Israeli occupation is allowing and encouraging it to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque continuously, the head of Hamas abroad said yesterday.
Khaled Meshaal said in press remarks that during Jewish holidays the occupation seeks to impose new realities in preparation for the demolition of Al-Aqsa and the construction of the alleged temple.
He added that since 2017 the number of settlers storming Al-Aqsa has doubled and the occupation has increased its aggression against the Muslim holy site.
Meshaal added that the resistance in the occupied West Bank has become too large to be contained by the extremist policies of the occupation government. It, he continued, will provide the greatest response to the occupation’s crimes.
He called on all the Palestinian people who can reach Al-Aqsa Mosque to go there.
Arab states, he continued, must stop normalizing ties with the occupation as this poses a danger to Palestine and its people.

Sheikh Salah called for all Muslims and free people around the world to stand up for Al-Aqsa Mosque and stop Zionist forces and settlers from desecrating it.
