Haneyya: Any israeli assault on Al-Aqsa will not go unanswered

Head of Hamas political bureau Ismail Haneyya said that any assault by the zionist occupation on the Al-Aqsa Mosque would not go unanswered, adding that the Palestinians would foil all schemes targeting the Muslims holy site in Occupied Jerusalem.

Speaking at a conference on International Quds Day on Tuesday evening, Haneyya added that Gaza cannot be isolated from any future confrontation, especially "if the zionist occupation crossed red lines." 

Among the two factors that pushed zionist regime to implement its schemes aimed at spatially and temporally dividing the Al-Aqsa Mosque is normalizing ties and forging military and security alliances with some Arab governments, Haneyya pointed out.

He added that the second factor is related to the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 as israel is taking advantage of the world's preoccupation with the Russia-Ukraine war to carry out its schemes.

  Calling on the Arab regimes that normalized relations with zionist regime to backtrack on this move, which "harms the Al-Aqsa Mosque," the Hamas chief noted that israel is exploiting normalization to legitimize its occupation of the Palestinian territories. 

"The israeli occupation's attempts to cross red lines might turn this bilateral conflict into a regional one," Haneyya continued, stressing that no security or stability would be brought to the region unless the Palestinian people regain their full right to return to their homeland. (ILKHA)
