Worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque shout down PA Grand Mufti mid-sermon, showing support for Hamas instead
Headline: “Worshippers removed the Friday preacher at the Al-Aqsa Mosque because he did not mention the resistance’s victory”
“Worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque removed [PA] Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories Sheikh Muhammad Hussein today, Friday, [May 21, 2021,] from the preacher’s pulpit while he delivered the sermon. This was as a sign of protest over him not mentioning the victory achieved by the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip and the resolve of its residents (refers to Hamas rocket barrages targeting Israeli cities; see note below -Ed.).
A video showing the worshippers’ opposition to Muhammad Hussein’s sermon before they demanded that he get down from the Al-Aqsa Mosque pulpit while calling ‘PA members out’ was spread on social media (the video appears in the article -Ed.).
Another clip showed others calling ‘Go to [PA President] Mahmoud Abbas, we are the people of [Hamas terror leader] Muhammad Deif’ (the video appears in the article -Ed.).”
