Israeli trying to “Judaize” the Al-Aqsa Mosque, take it over and build the “Third Temple,” says PLO official
Headline: "Majdalani: Racist Erdan’s call is a dangerous escalation and the international community must hold him accountable"
"PLO Executive Committee member Ahmed Majdalani said that the statements of the Israeli government’s so-called Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan, who called to change the ‘status quo’ at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque (Erdan called to allow Jews to pray at the Temple Mount; see note below –Ed.)… are a dangerous thing that heralds an explosion of the situation.
Majdalani added last night (Tuesday) [Aug. 13, 2019] that the occupation's attempt is continuing in the direction of imposing a division of time and area in order to Judaize the Al-Aqsa Mosque, by establishing a policy of break-ins into the mosque and attacking those carrying out Ribat(i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic) within it, and afterwards by completely taking it over and changing its identity by building what the occupation calls ‘the Third Temple' in place of the Dome of the Rock."
Ahmed Majdalani also holds the positions of Secretary-General of the terror organization Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF) and head of the PLO Department of Labor and Planning.
The mention of Israeli Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan’s statements refer to comments he made in an interview with Radio 90FM on Aug. 13, 2019, in which he said: “I think that there is an injustice in the status quo that has existed [on the Temple Mount] since 1967, and that it is necessary to work to change it so that Jews in the future will be able God willing to also pray on the Temple Mount, which is the holiest site for the Jewish people and the third most significant site in Islam.”
