OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A large number of worshipers performed the Friday prayers at the neighbourhood of Al Salah in the town of Beit Safafa to the south of Jerusalem to express solidarity with the residents of the neighbourhood which is threatened by the occupation with demolition and its residents with expulsion.
Dr. Ekrema Sabri, head of the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem, who lead the prayer said during the sermon that Palestine is the responsibility of every Muslim. It cannot be relinquished under any circumstances.
He condemned the Israeli occupation's confiscation of land and building of the illegal settlements on those confiscated lands.
He also said that the Israeli occupation's repressive practices in Jerusalem including home demolitions, withdrawing identity cards, expulsion and land confiscation are illegal and aim to uproot Palestinian residents and replace them with Zionist settlers.
He praised the people of Jerusalem and the residents of Al Salah neighbourhood for their steadfastness.
He thanked the congregation, which included representatives of Palestinian factions in Jerusalem and a delegation from 1948-occupied Palestine, for their solidarity with the residents of the threatened neighbourhood.
The Israeli campaign of Judaization of Jerusalem is threatening hundreds of Palestinian homes in various suburbs of the holy city.
