Palestinian Presidency spokesperson: Jerusalem’s Aqsa mosque ‘a red line not to be tampered with’

The official spokesman for the Palestinian presidency Nabil Abu Rudeineh said that Israeli extremist minister Itamar Ben Gvir's calls to establish a synagogue inside al-Aqsa Mosque are very dangerous, stressing that the Palestinian people will not accept any tampering with the al-Aqsa, which is a red line that cannot be tampered with at all. Abu Rudeineh added that these rejected and condemned calls to tamper with al-Aqsa Mosque are attempts to drag the region into a religious war that will burn everyone, stressing that the area of al-Haram al-Sharif, which is 144 dunams, belongs to Muslims only. He called on the international community, especially the US administration, to take immediate action to curb this extremist right-wing government and force it to abide by the legal and historical status quo in Jerusalem. The official spokesman for the presidency pointed out that the US political, military and financial support is what encouraged these extremists to continue the aggression against the Palestinian p eople, their land and their sanctities. He stressed that the US bears responsibility for the war of extermination Palestinian people are being subjected to in the Gaza Strip, and the killing, detention and destruction in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, adding that it must force its ally Israel to stop its aggression, attacks and the terrorism of its colonists.
