Headline: “Amman: The [PA] mufti participates in a conference on Jerusalem”
“Grand [PA] Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories and preacher at the Al-Aqsa Mosque Muhammad Hussein participated in a regional conference that was held in Amman on ‘The Cultural and Natural Heritage in Jerusalem: Reality and Challenges,’ which was held by the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) and the Popular National Congress of Jerusalem, in coordination with the Jordanian Royal Committee for Jerusalem Affairs…
The mufti presented a working paper to the conference entitled ‘Jerusalem’s Status and Significance and the Dangers That It Faces.’ In it he explained the priority that Jerusalem receives, its status, and the many dangers to which it is subjected… and especially the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, the dangers to whose existence are growing due to the daily attacks that it suffers. The most dangerous of them is the extensive break-ins into its plaza by the Zionist extremists and senior officials, their security force members, and their police officers. On the sidelines of the conference, he met with official and popular delegations and figures from among the participants and briefed them on the recent developments in the Palestinian arena, the most prominent of which is what the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is suffering, the issue of the heroic prisoners… and the policy of medical negligence, whose most recent victim was the death as a Martyr of prisoner Bassam Al-Sayeh (i.e., terrorist, involved in murder of 2) in the occupation’s prison… In his conversations, he also touched on the excavations and daily break-ins into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the ongoing attacks against its guards, its loyal people, and those carrying out Ribat (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic) in its plaza… in addition to the hostile attack against the other Islamic and Christian holy sites.”
Muhammad Hussein also serves as Palestinian Supreme Fatwa Council Chairman and Deputy Secretary-General and acting Secretary-General of the PLO Popular National Conference of Jerusalem.
