Division of Al-Aqsa Mosque Unacceptable
Marziyeh Afkham underlined that that splitting prayer times and space at al-Aqsa Mosque is unacceptable.
She also expressed concerns over the continuation of the policy of Judaization of the holy city of Quds and its sacred sites by the Zionist regime, calling on Muslim governments and nations and related international bodies to show serious and immediate reaction to put an end to Israeli crimes in Occupied Palestine.
There have been repeated Zionist attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque recently and, in the background, there has been talk of dividing the mosque in terms of time and space, something Palestinians and other Muslims around the world would vehemently oppose.
It comes as there has been increasing confrontation between Israelis and Palestinians, triggered by Tel Aviv’s imposition on August 26 of sweeping restrictions on entries into the compound of the al-Aqsa Mosque and Israeli settlers’ repeated storming of the mosque.
On October 9, scores of Israeli troops swooped on the Shu'fat camp, blocking all of its entries and thus prompting confrontation with the Palestinians, the Palestinian Safa news website reported.
On October 8, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein expressed extreme concern over the escalation of tensions in the occupied territories, urging an end to the violence.
The official also warned about the rising number of Palestinians injured by live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas used by Israeli forces.
