PA Ministry accuses Israelis of plotting against Al-Aqsa Mosque
Headline: “The [PA] Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that the extremist settlers will commit a large crime against the Al-Aqsa Mosque”
“The [PA] Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the ongoing provocative invasions of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque by ultra-extremist settlers, and the Talmudic (i.e., Jewish) rituals that they are carrying out in addition to explanations about the alleged Temple in the mosque’s plazas, under increased protection by the occupation police.
The ministry said that the escalation of the invasions and the occupation’s various measures, including what was published in the Hebrew media regarding red heifers, holding priestly prayers, and spreading them to bring about more extensive participation in these invasions, is a direct result of the fact that the so-called ‘Temple’ associations and organizations feel that the extremist ministers in the Israeli government are defending and supporting them. This is liable to push them to carry out a great foolishness against the Al-Aqsa Mosque with their calls that are dangerous to the arena of the conflict and to the region in its entirety, on the path to eternalizing the existing division according to times and accelerating its division according to areas (see note below -Ed.), if not even its destruction and the establishment of the alleged Temple in its place.”
