07:56 AM ]GAZA, (PIC)-- The Palestinian government of Ismail Haneyya has condemned the tour of Avi Mizrahi, the commander of the Israeli occupation forces' (IOF) central region, in Bethlehem accompanied and escorted by Palestinian security officers.
Taher Al-Nunu, the government's spokesman, said in a statement on Friday that the few hours visit, which was protected by Palestinian security forces, clearly displayed those forces affiliation with the IOF.
He regretted that those forces provide protection for the IOF commanders and troops but track down and liquidate Palestinian resistance fighters.
Nunu noted that the step followed a declaration by Israeli occupation authority (IOA) leaders that the Ramallah authority had urged the IOF to continue its war on Gaza, displaying full cooperation with the IOA against the Palestinian people in favor of financial and partisan interests.
The government also denounced the IOF for providing protection for Jewish settlers who desecrated the tomb of Prophet Ishaq inside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Al-Khalil on Friday.
It charged that the step was in provocation of Muslims' feelings and a flagrant violation of their holy places.
The government asked the Islamic countries to shoulder their responsibilities towards holy shrines in Palestine and to immediately intervene to protect them and prevent the Israeli attempts to judaize them.
