Headline: “The [PA Ministry of] Foreign Affairs warns against the occupation imposing a physical division of the Al-Aqsa Mosque”
“The [PA] Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates warned against the ruling right-wing in Israel committing additional violations and crimes against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and imposing a physical division (see note below –Ed.) in light of the elections.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press release today (Sunday) [Aug. 18, 2019] that the ruling right-wing in Israel led by [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu is continuing to carry out hundreds of Judaizing projects to change the status quo in Jerusalem, its neighborhoods, its surroundings, its Old City, and its holy sites, and first among them the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
[The ministry] added: ‘This Judaization campaign is escalating due to unprecedented and limitless American support, and due to American decisions that are completely biased in favor of the occupation and its narrative, especially [US] President [Donald] Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the occupation state and transfer his state’s embassy to it (see note below –Ed.), and the open participation on the ground by Trump’s pro-Zionist team in a number of Judaization and settlement activities in Jerusalem (apparently refers to the inauguration of the Pilgrimage Road; see note below –Ed.).’ …
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that these occupation blows come together with an unprecedented and planned escalation to establish a division by times at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque until it is physically divided – if not completely destroyed.”
