Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression against al-Aqsa Mosque by barring a number of female Palestinian worshippers from accessing the sacred compound. This ban reflects the aggressive behaviour of the Israeli occupation government in imposing judaization plans as a fait accompli at the al-Aqsa Mosque complex.

The provocative storming of the al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli settlers at Jewish holidays is a play with fire that the Israeli occupation government bears full responsibility for it, as the Palestinian people will foil any attempt to impose new realities on the ground and will defend the al-Aqsa Mosque with all their strength.

We condemn the participation of US ambassador to the Israeli occupation David Friedman in lighting the “Hanukkah” candle at the al-Buraq Wall in occupied Jerusalem. The Israeli-biased positions of the US administration prove that the option of resistance is the only way to protect the rights of Palestinian people to their lands and holy sites.

Hamas calls on the Arab and Muslims states to take more serious actions to defend the al-Aqsa Mosque compound against the US-backed Israeli aggression, which has targeted the holy city in general, urging for Arab and Muslim efforts to be unified in support of Palestinian right to their sacred city.
