A big number of Jewish settlers on August 28 stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque escorted by dozens of police officers and intelligence elements. The intelligence agents and the settlers roamed al-Aqsa mosque yards accompanied by a Jewish tourist guide, who was talking about the mosque as a Jewish place claiming the existence of a link between it and the “alleged Temple.”
MP Ahmed Abu Halabiya, head of Jerusalem Committee in the Palestinian Legislative Council, called for official and public protection of the occupied city of Jerusalem against the occupation crimes. He warned, during a press conference held at the headquarters of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Gaza, of the ongoing Zionist plans designed to intensify settlement in Jerusalem and change the demographic equation in favour of the Zionist side by confiscating Jerusalemites’ lands, demolishing their homes, and building tens of thousands of settlement units in their place.
