CFP Accuses Israel of Suppressing Religious Freedom in Jerusalem

The Coalition for a Free Palestine (CFP), in South Africa, accused the Israeli occupation authorities of suppressing religious freedoms in Jerusalem in light of the successive Israeli aggressions against Muslims and Christians in the city.

The Coalition described in a press release on Saturday the recent Israeli practices in the occupied city of Jerusalem as racist, and denounced the policies and laws used by the occupation to confiscate the Palestinians' rights in favor of the Israelis.
"The Zionist Judaization policies in Holy Jerusalem will never give legitimacy to the Zionist occupation of the city, which is considered an integral part of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967," the statement said.
It also condemned the Israeli occupation procedures that impose restrictions on Jerusalemites, and monitored dozens of violations that reflect a real Zionist apartheid culture in the Palestinian occupied territories.
The Coalition denounced Israel's attempts to desecrate the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque through providing political and security cover for the extremist rightist movements, led by settlers, to seize the mosque.
It has also denounced summoning the Grand Mufti of Palestine Sheikh Mohammed Hussein for investigation.
