PA Mufti in religious ruling: Anyone who cooperates with Trump peace plan is betraying Allah
Headline: "The [PA] grand mufti forbids cooperating with the deal of the century and those who are promoting it"
"[PA] Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories Muhammad Hussein published a religious ruling that forbids cooperating with the 'deal of the century' (i.e., US President Donald Trump's Middle East peace plan; see note below) and those promoting it, as its goal in general is to eliminate the Palestinian cause forever.
The mufti said in a statement yesterday [Feb. 11, 2020] that anyone who cooperates with the deal is betraying Allah, His Messenger [Muhammad], the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, and Palestine. He added that 'the deal of the century' steals Jerusalem from its legal owners, denies the Muslims their third [holiest] mosque, their first direction of prayer, and the place to which their Prophet, peace be upon him, travelled, and also does away with the refugees' right and delegitimizes the demand of a people that was forcefully uprooted from its land to receive its legitimate rights.
He noted that the deal is meant to cancel the right of our people to live on its land in dignity, strengthens the thieving oppressor, supports it, and aggressively and unfairly grants it most of the Palestinian land that is scented with the Martyrs' pure blood… which confirms that those who are planning this unjust aggressiveness, or willingly supporting or being silent about it, deserve to be cursed by Allah, his angels, and all people."
Muhammad Hussein also holds the positions of preacher at the Al-Aqsa Mosque Palestinian Supreme Fatwa Council Chairman, and Deputy Secretary-General and acting Secretary-General of the PLO Popular National Conference of Jerusalem.
