PA minister: "Settlers carried out 50 attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque" and ultimately plan its "destruction"
"[PA] Minister of Religious Affairs Yusuf Ida'is disclosed yesterday [June 9, 2014] that over the month of May, the occupation authorities and groups of settlers carried out 50 attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the houses of worship.
In a statement made yesterday, Ida’is said… that there has been a rise in the number of settlers invading and desecrating the Al-Aqsa Mosque plazas and the Ibrahimi Mosque (i.e., Cave of the Patriarchs), and a spread of tendentious media campaigns within Israeli society and the world at large calling for the validation of Talmudic prayers [in the Al-Aqsa Mosque], the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the construction of the alleged Temple."
Note: The PA considers any presence of Jews on the Temple Mount an "invasion." However, all visitors are subject to rigorous checks by Israeli security personnel before being granted access to the Temple Mount.
