GAZA, (PIC)-- PA minister of religious affairs in Gaza Dr. Taleb Abu Shaar has warned of calls by a Zionist organization for annexing the Aqsa Mosque to the list of Jewish historical sites.
Abu Shaar in a statement on Friday further warned that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) was planning to encircle the Aqsa Mosque with Talmudic parks under the name of public parks.
He noted that Israeli leaders would attend the inauguration of the biggest Jewish synagogue only tens of meters away from the Aqsa Mosque in mid March, adding that a Jewish prophecy says that the synagogue would herald the destruction of the Aqsa Mosque and the construction of their alleged temple on its ruins.
The minister also feared that Jewish settlers might storm the Aqsa Mosque on Sunday and Monday as circulated by Jewish websites, warning of any harm done to the holy site.
He appealed to worshipers and Aqsa guards to be on the watch for such attacks, pointing to a "serious escalation" in attacks on the Aqsa including the increase in diggings and demolitions of nearby homes.
The statement was coupled with news reports that new IOA excavations were carried out in the vicinity of the Aqsa Mosque.
The news report indicated that the IOA was trying to impose new facts on the ground.
For his part, MP Ibrahim Abu Tir said that the annexation of Ibrahimi mosque to the list of Jewish historical site was prelude to the judaization of the Aqsa.
He said in a press release from his Israeli prison on Friday that the Islamic Nation should be aware of the seriousness of the threats to its holy shrines.
