Israel seeks to build “the alleged Temple upon the ruins of the Al-Aqsa Mosque”
Former PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei (Abu Alaa):
“Since being occupied in its entirety by Israel, Jerusalem has been subjected to an intensive Israeli effort to Judaize and to change the demographic and geographic reality, and the historical, architectural and religious landmarks of the holy city. This [has taken place] through ongoing attempts to conceal the [city’s] Arab Islamic and Christian identity, for the purpose of the supposed historical claim that this city belongs to the Jews, especially as concerning the rebuilding of the alleged Temple upon the ruins of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
