Jerusalem "Al-Quds" dot com - Minister of Jerusalem Affairs Fadi Al-Hadmi said today, Sunday, that what happened in Al-Aqsa Mosque is a heinous, rejected and condemned act that requires an Arab and Islamic stand.

Al-Hadmi considered, in a press statement, the unprecedented raids, not only a blatant and explicit violation of the existing historical and legal status of the mosque, but also blew it up and harmed the feelings of Muslims all over the world.

Al-Hadmi condemned the occupation police attacks on worshipers, journalists, and mosque guards, and the arrest of a number of them.

He said, "This unprecedented violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, coinciding with the approaching Israeli elections, highlights the ugly face of the Israeli government and right-wing parties."

He added, "What happened today is a continuation of a series of attacks that have not stopped on Al-Aqsa Mosque for a long time, whether by storms, excavations, arrests, deportations, and attempts to impose a new reality on the mosque."

Al-Hadmi added, "We salute the Jerusalemites' stand in the face of the blatant Israeli aggression, despite the occupation police's brutality and aggression."

The Minister of Jerusalem Affairs called on the international community to take immediate and urgent action to stop the Israeli aggression.

Al-Hadmi said, "We do not accept that Jerusalem, its sanctities, and its inhabitants be fuel for Israeli electoral propaganda in which the extreme right competes with those who are more right-wing."
