On Palestinian massive participation in Fajr prayers this morning in support of Al-Aqsa, Member of Hamas Political Bureau Husam Badran stated the following:

We send our regards of gratitude to the Palestinian people who responded to the appeal made by Al-Aqsa defenders to protest against the Israeli measures and violations at the holy compound.

As thousands of men and women gathered in support of the holy sites, the masses that participated in Fajr prayers Al-Aqsa Mosque and Ibrahimi mosque are a sign of hope that Palestine will be liberated and Palestinian will be victorious at the end.

Meanwhile, the Israeli government sent forces to attack the Palestinian prayers. But the message was clear: Al-Aqsa and the other holy sites are a RED LINE.

That the Israeli occupation’s attempts to judaize Jerusalem and holy sites are an alarming sign that must prompt our Arab and Islamic Ummah, along with the free people of the world to intervene immediately. We call for similar Fajr prayers to be organized in all Arab and Islamic capitals for the sake of Al-Aqsa and holy places in Palestine.
