The Jerusalem Islamic Waqf Council warned today of the repercussions of the Israeli occupation and its settlers violations against al-Aqsa Mosque/ Al-Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem.

The council confirmed, in a statement, that these violations and attacks against al-Aqsa Mosque came in response to calls made by Jewish fanatic groups, with the support and political cover of the Israeli government.

It stressed that the Israeli actions against al-Aqsa mosque, which coincide with the Muslim holidays, reveal extremism and malice that aim at dragging the region into a religious war which consequences cannot be contained.
