CAIRO, (PIC)-- Senior Hamas official Mohamed Nazzal stated Friday that the Palestinian resistance would remain at the vanguard of the Muslim nation defending their holy sites and confronting tribulations and conspiracies.

This came in a speech delivered by him over the telephone in a conference on the protection of Islamic holy sites in Palestine held in the Egyptian governorate of Gharbia.

Nazzal called on the Egyptian people to assume their religious duty towards the Palestinian people and continue their spiritual and financial support for the resistance.

The Hamas official also hailed the honorable positions of the Egyptian people towards Palestine and their role in supporting the Palestinian cause and the Islamic holy sites.

In Yemen, Al-Quds international institution – Yemen branch held on Thursday evening a symposium entitled “The Zionist violations against the Aqsa Mosque and the Ibrahimi Mosque".

Hamas representative in Yemen Abdelmuti Zakut highlighted during the symposium the Islamic identity of Palestinian cause, saying it is the Muslims’ first cause regardless of some attempts to turn it from an Islamic issue into an inter-Palestinian or Arab issue.

Zakut added that the recent frenzied Israeli escalation against the Islamic holy sites, atop of them is the Aqsa Mosque, is the latest in a string of attacks that kept taking place in the occupied city of Jerusalem before the emergence of the "Zionist entity".

“The Muslim nation has refused all attempts to install the Zionist entity in its midst despite the passage of more than 60 years since this strange entity came to the surface; they [Israelis], as their ill-fated president Peres said, are still fighting for independence, which they have not got so far and will never get until their coming demise,” the Hamas official underscored.

The official also strongly denounced the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah and its negotiators for renouncing the right of return, which he described as a “sacred right,” and the essence of the Palestinian cause.

He called on the upcoming Arab summit to be held in Libya to reconsider the Arab peace initiative, freeze it or withdraw it forever since it achieved nothing and encouraged the Israeli occupation to escalate its violations against the Palestinian people and their holy sites.
