GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian minister of religious affairs Taleb Abu Sha'ar appealed to his counterparts in the Arab and Muslim countries to necessarily file complaints with international courts over Israel's crimes and violations against the occupied holy of Jerusalem and its people.

In a statement on Wednesday, Abu Sha'ar mentioned some of the Israeli violations and crimes that took place recently in Jerusalem, especially Israel's destruction of more than 350 graves, including graves of Prophet Muhammad's companions, in Ma'manullah cemetery, west of the holy city, and the eviction of hundreds of Palestinians from their homes.

He said that 36 violations against the people of Jerusalem were documented between 13 July and 10 August, including the demolition of six homes inhabited by eight families consisting of 55 individuals, mostly children.

The minister added that an extremist Jewish group called Attiyrat Kohnim also took over a building of nine apartments inhabited by more than 50 individuals in Al-Saadiya neighborhood.

For its part, the Hamas Movement called on all media outlets to expose Israel's violations in Jerusalem, especially the demolition of the Islamic cemetery of Ma'manullah in order to build in its place a museum and recreational projects.

In a press release on Wednesday, Hamas stressed the need for shedding light on Israel's violations and Judaization activities in the holy city and giving an introduction to the history of the cemetery.
