Israel will be responsible for “all consequences” of Jerusalem Day flag march, threatens PA Grand Mufti
“[PA] Mufti [of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories Sheikh Muhammad] Hussein warned in a statement yesterday [June 7, 2021] against holding the so-called ‘flag march’ in occupied Jerusalem, whose goal is to provoke the Palestinians and please the extremist settlers, which will add to the tensions in Jerusalem (refers to traditional march that was cancelled on Jerusalem Day, May 10, 2021, due to violent Arab riots; see note below -Ed.).
He held the occupation authorities responsible for all consequences of these attacks, which must be blocked through the existing capabilities, foremost among them increasing the visits to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the presence in it.”
