Outrage After Israeli Extremist Desecrates Quran in Al-Quds on Eve of Ramadan

IQNA – A video circulating on Tuesday shows an Israeli settler burning a copy of the Quran in Jerusalem al-Quds, a deliberate act of desecration that threatens to inflame tensions ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

“A religious Zionist activist from the neo-Nazis is burning the Holy Quran with his face uncovered,” Arab Knesset member Ahmad Tibi said on the US social media company X.

He said the extremist Israeli “will not be punished because he is Jewish.”

In the footage shared by Tibi, the illegal Israeli settler is heard saying: “What’s happening? We are here now celebrating and burning a very sacred book to Muslims, surah by surah, all the surahs. Congratulations to us.”

“The people of Israel are eliminating evil. Congratulations to us. I truly appreciate the Quran, but only when it is like this,” the unnamed settler said, as he burns the Holy Book.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli regime or Jewish groups on the incident, as Muslims around the world start observing the holy month of Ramadan.
