Hamas movement said that the incitement campaign by the Israeli media outlets against the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Ekrima Sa'id Sabri, will not break his will, nor will it stop him from defending the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In a press statement, the Hamas spokesperson for Jerusalem Mohammed Hamada explained that the Israeli desperate attempts to incite against Palestinian national figures are part of a comprehensive, organized plan to control the Al-Aqsa Mosque and divide the compound spatially and temporally.

Hamada saluted Sheikh Sabri for his steadfastness against the Israeli occupation’s continued violations and attacks.
