The insistence of Israeli occupation forces and colonial settlers to storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque next Sunday is a provocative act and a grave escalation that the Israeli occupation leaders bear full responsibility for its consequences.
 
We warn fanatic Israeli settlers against continuing their assaults on the Al-Aqsa compound as the Palestinian people will always be standing guard to protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque and all Muslim and Christian holy sites. 

The schemes orchestrated by the Israeli occupation against the Al-Aqsa Mosque require a state of unity to keep defending Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa compound a top priority at the Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim levels.
 
We call on Palestinian citizens of the West Bank and the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque and defend it against Judaisation schemes plotted by the Israeli occupation and settlers.
