The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has called on international rights and legal groups to condemn and expose Israeli crimes against occupied Jerusalem and its Palestinian population. 

The Israeli occupation continues to target Palestinian Jerusalemites, by detaining them, banning them from accessing the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City, and imposing hefty fines on them, in a bid to force them from the holy city, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said in a press release Saturday.      

Abu Zuhri called on all Palestinians and the Arab and Muslim world to provide the Palestinian population of occupied Jerusalem with all forms of financial and popular support to confront the Israeli occupation and its policies against them.
