The Revolutionary Council emphasized in a statement yesterday [May 8, 2021]: ‘What is happening in Jerusalem – the invasion of the Al-Aqsa Mosque last night and the wounding and attacks against worshippers that were caused as a result of it – area message to every Palestinian and Arab: The danger of this occupation is an existential danger for Jerusalem.’ …

As part of a statement that was issued yesterday by the [Fatah] Commission of Information and Culture, Fatah proudly and admiringly congratulated the masses of our people in Jerusalem and Sheikh Jarrah and said: ‘Today you are a symbol of the honor of the Palestinian people and the Arab and Islamic nations.’ …

It emphasized the significance of a united Palestinian position at this fateful stage in Jerusalem, and its resistance to every attempt to divert the compass from the Israeli enemy, as the battle in Jerusalem is a battle of to be or not to be.”
