OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Palestinian lawmaker Hatem Kufaisheh, a prisoner in Israeli jails, warned of the seriousness of the Zionist schemes and plots carried out against the Aqsa Mosque and the occupied city of Jerusalem that aim to expel Palestinians from their city and establish the alleged temple.
In a leaked letter sent to the Palestinian information center (PIC), MP Kufaisheh called on the Arab and Muslim nations and leaders, the organization of Islamic conference and the Arab League to move to save the Aqsa Mosque before it is too late.
The lawmaker stated that the political and military institution of the "Zionist entity supports Jewish extremists" and provides them with the atmosphere appropriate to commit massacres as a prelude to carrying out criminal schemes prepared in advance.
“This was what actually happened after criminal Baruch Goldstein fired a barrage of his treacherous bullets at Muslims as they were in the first prostration of the dawn prayer resulting in dozens of martyrs and hundreds of injuries. Then came out Shamgar, the head of the so-called supreme court, who decided to turn the bulk of the Ibrahimi Mosque into a synagogue,” the lawmaker underscored.
He pointed out that the expulsion of families from their homes, the seizure of their property and real estate, the ongoing settlement expansion and the excavations under the Aqsa Mosque prompted him to write this letter and make this warning to urge Arabs and Muslim to take urgent action.
Sheikh Sabri hails thousands of Palestinians for praying in Aqsa

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Sheikh Ikrema Sabri, the preacher of the Aqsa Mosque, on Friday hailed thousands of Palestinians who managed to pray in the Mosque despite the Israeli restrictions imposed on movement of Palestinians in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
Sheikh Sabri highlighted in the Khutba (sermon) that the presence of Palestinian worshipers in large numbers in the Aqsa Mosque protects it from the Zionist threats, and urged the Palestinians to frequent the Mosque.
The preacher also called on the Arab and Muslim regimes to assume their responsibility towards Palestine especially Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.
About 200,000 Palestinians from Jerusalem and the 1948 occupied lands flocked to the Aqsa Mosque to perform the second Friday prayer in Ramadan amid tight Israeli security measures around the holy city and Mosque.
The Israeli occupation forces had imposed before dawn prayers a security cordon around the Aqsa Mosque and the city of Jerusalem especially in the Old City and prevented the Palestinian men from the West Bank under age 50 and women under age 45 from reaching the Mosque.
