The plans by the Israeli occupation and extremist Israeli settler groups to allow thousands of colonial settlers to storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque next Tuesday require all Palestinians from across historic Palestine to stand up for the mosque and defend it against Israeli schemes targeting it. 

Storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque under Talmudic pretexts and using social media platforms for incitement raise the alarm for a new danger targeting Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. 

As we reassert the Palestinian people’s religious, historic, and national right to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, we call on all Palestinian factions, the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf department, official and popular organisations, and national and religious figures to immediately act to confront such danger. 

We also urge the Arab and Muslim world and the free peoples of the world to support the Palestinian people in the face of such appalling Israeli aggression.
