PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: Israel… is desecrating the Islamic and Christian religious holy sites [in Palestine]… just as it is preventing the Palestinians from their right to freedom of worship at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Jerusalem Noble Sanctuary (i.e., the Temple Mount), which is an exclusive...

PA Supreme Shari’ah Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “The rights are indivisible – Give me 60% or 70% of my rights, and tell me: ‘That’s it, that’s yours, take it.’ Perhaps temporarily, yes. [But] strategically, no! … Our rights are non-negotiable. They want to negotiate over Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa...”

Broadcast of Friday prayers and a sermon by PA Supreme Shari’ah Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash at a mosque in Ramallah. PA Supreme Shari’ah Judge and Abbas’ advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash: The collective [Muslim] duty that is obligated today is the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque (i.e., the Temple Mount)… The supreme...

PA Supreme Shari’ah Judge and Abbas’ advisor says Jews at Temple Mount are “humanoids… cursed by Allah” and made into “apes and pigs”

Supreme Shari’ah Judge and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah Justice Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “The Al-Aqsa Mosque is the First Direction of Prayer… The second mosque that Allah gave us is the Ibrahimi Mosque (i.e., the Cave of the Patriarchs)… These two specific mosques are turning today into...”

"Opposing with utmost severity" Israeli efforts to make the site accessible for the disabled, Mahmoud Al-Habbash states "Israel and the Jews have no right, historically or religiously, to any centimetre of this purely Islamic mosque"

“When Fatah decides to enter armed confrontations, it has its ways that everyone knows,” says Fatah, distancing itself from a video in which an alleged PA Officer calls for violent terror against Israel

In broadcast filled with anti-Israel libel and claims that Arab normalization with Israel "supports Israeli attacks and killings," Fatah encourages "millions of Martyrs" to fight Israel, saying “Our souls are insignificant for the sake of Jerusalem”

One day after a fatal terror attack on 19-year-old students, Fatah Spokesman calls the killing a “heroic operation” and a “natural response and natural right” – "it is the Palestinian people’s natural right to defend itself and its dignity with all available means"

As violent riots raged in the capital, Fatah recycles Abbas’ call for “Ribat” – religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic, and his demand to "stand before the occupation with chests bared" and fight "in any way whatsoever"

As is the way of the PA, a grain of truth is turned into a grand libel. Once a year, the PA illustrates the anatomy of a libel in all clarity when it commemorates the arson at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969.

The PA is protesting Israel's plan to make the Cave of the Patriarchs wheelchair accessible and condemning it as "Judaization."

"The occupation government is exploiting the circumstances of the spread of the Coronavirus epidemic in order to spread its epidemic of Judaization"

PA: Jews "defile the Al-Aqsa Mosque"

The official also encouraged Martyrdom: Better to fight and die as Martyrs than to accept Trump’s deal

The PA libel claims that all Jewish history in the Land of Israel is false.

"The alleged Temple story that is nothing but a mix of fables and myths created for political reasons"

Israel is excavating under the Al-Aqsa Mosque, building “the alleged Temple”

"The Jews have no right to it."

"The herds of settlers are spreading corruption in the land... O Allah, liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque"

"If we consolidate our ranks and unify... then we will certainly defeat our enemy, which is Israel."

"We can do nothing but call it a crime, because this is a desecration of a holy [Islamic] site"

In an attempt to disrupt Jews' right to access the Mount on Tisha B'Av, the PA took a number of steps.

"The prayers are being held at a different time than usual in order to defend [it] and reinforce that this site belongs completely to the Muslims"

Hamas promises Israel and its people: "slaughter, extermination, and annihilation"
