Abbas’ advisor: Israel will exploit the war to “realize satanic plot”: “Destroy Al-Aqsa and build the alleged Temple”
Official PA radio station The Voice of Palestine host: "Let's talk about the extent of the [Israeli] danger threatening the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque if this closure continues... under the cover of war and the security situation."
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "Of course this is a baseless and worthless claim being marketed by the occupation state (i.e., Israel) to justify this crime that it is committing against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. I fear that Israel will exploit this situation to impose a new reality and a new way of dealing with the Al-Aqsa Mosque that will lead to strengthening the Israeli control over the mosque, and as a result of this it will realize the well-known Israeli plot to seize part of the mosque and turn it into a Jewish synagogue, and also it will carry out the satanic plot that strives to destroy the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and build the alleged Israeli Temple in its place."
