US Urged to Demand End to Ramadan Closure of Al-Aqsa
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Friday called on the State Department to demand that the Israeli apartheid regime end its unprecedented ban on Muslim worshipers entering Al Aqsa Mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam, during the holy month of Ramadan.
The Israeli regime has kept Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds closed since the start of the US-Israeli aggression on Iran on Feb. 28, while allowing only about 50 worshippers to pray at Ibrahimi Mosque in the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, CAIR said:
“We strongly condemn the Israeli government’s ongoing and unprecedented closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Banning Palestinian Muslims from worshipping at one of the holiest sites in Islam during the holy month of Ramadan is just the latest evidence that the Netanyahu regime is not only at war with the Palestinian people, but with Islam itself. Al-Aqsa Mosque does not belong to the Israeli apartheid government, which does not have the moral or legal right to prevent worshippers from praying there. Our nation must demand that Israeli lift this illegal blockade, as well as various restrictions on Palestinian Christians, before they lead to even more conflict and chaos in the Holy Land.”
