In a statement on Tuesday, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasem described such practices as a “serious escalation of the israeli religious war on the Islamic holy sites,” and a “disregard for the feelings of the Arab and Muslim nations.”
The spokesman stressed that the Palestinian people would continue their struggle against the israeli Judaization practices in the holy city.
He urged the Palestinian youths in the occupied territories to escalate their strikes against the occupation in response to its aggression against their compatriots and holy sites in Jerusalem. (ILKHA)
