Calls for Strategic Plan to Reinforce the Steadfastness of Jerusalem
International Jerusalem Foundation on Thursday organized a seminar entitled: "Jerusalem's future in light of the Israeli occupation."
The participants emphasized the need to develop a strategic plan towards Jerusalem dealing with military, political, economic, demographic, media, educational, and cultural aspects to reinforce Jerusalemites' steadfastness.
The head of the Foundation, Dr. Ahmed Abu Halabiya stressed that the Israeli enemy seeks to blur the Islamic monuments through bulldozing hundreds of Islamic graves in order to establish Israeli hotels and museums in its place".
He pointed to the Hebrew banners on Islamic historical and archaeological sites near the Al-Aqsa mosque, including fake history claims about the alleged temple in this area.
The Israeli army works to seize many of the Islamic mosques in west and east of Jerusalem for settlement benefit, he noted.
He added that the Israeli enemy continues its excavations down the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings, leading to the fall of many old trees in the mosque yards, and many landslides inside the mosque and in its surroundings."
For his part, Dr. Yousef Ibrahim said that the apartheid wall will isolate the Palestinian neighborhoods within the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem outside the city.
In total the Wall will run over 181 km where it will add settlements to Jerusalem to impose a new reality in the city, he added.
Dr. Jihad al-Batsh stressed the need to follow the Israeli activities in Jerusalem where it is one of the most important tools for combating and resisting settlement activities.
He pointed out that the Israeli enemy has consistently focused on the settlements issue in Jerusalem, taking advantage of provoking religious sentiments in order to get the support of the world's Jews.
