Presidency says Israeli escalation in Al-Aqsa Mosque can turn conflict into religious strife
Picture
The Palestinian presidency condemned today the Israeli occupation forces storming Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacking worshipers on the first day of Eid Al-Adha and warned that the Israeli escalation could turn the political conflict into religious strife.

"We hold the Israeli government responsible for police breaking into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacking worshipers, which is a major provocation to the feelings of Muslims and serves to fuel the situation and increase tension that would drag the region to the square of violence," said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for the President Mahmoud Abbas.

Israeli police attacked tens of thousands of Palestinian Muslims who were holding the morning prayers for the first day of Eid Al-Adha, one of the main Muslim holidays, at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City, causing several dozen injuries, mainly among elderly people who had to be transferred to hospitals for treatment. video video video

The police attack came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and extremist right wing Israeli officials pressed for allowing fanatic Jews into the Muslim holy compound on this important Muslim holiday. video video

In order to allow the fanatic Jews in, Israeli police attacked the Muslim worshippers and forced them out of the holy compound while preventing them from carrying out their religious duty.

Abu Rudeineh stressed in a statement the need to stop the Israeli violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque, stressing that it is a red line that cannot be tolerated in the face of repeated attacks on this holy place by the occupation forces and its settlers.

He said that President Abbas salutes our people in Jerusalem for their steadfastness in the face of the occupation schemes that seek to change the status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque as an only Muslim holy place, calling for urgent international and Arab intervention in order to curb the aggression and Israeli arrogance and force Israel as an occupying power to stop its actions and practices in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa.

"We warn the Israeli government against continuing to allow settlers to carry out these crimes and we warn against turning the political conflict into a religious one that could burn everything in its way,” he said.

Dozens of Jewish settlers defile Aqsa on first day of Eid

The Israeli occupation police on Sunday allowed hundreds of Jewish settlers to desecrate the Aqsa Mosque’s courtyards three times on Sunday, the first day of Eid al-Adha.

According to Maariv newspaper, the Israeli police allowed about 1,729 settlers to enter the Aqsa Mosque.

However, Jerusalemite sources affirmed that the settlers who toured the Mosque totaled about 13,35 and that the Israeli media exaggerated their number for propaganda purposes.

Meanwhile, Israeli police forces stormed, following the Eid prayers, the Aqsa Mosque and violently attacked Muslim worshipers as groups of settlers started to enter the Mosque and tour its courtyards.

PLO: Israel bears full responsibility for storming Al Aqsa, fueling religious tensions in Jerusalem

The storming of Al Aqsa Mosque Compound in Jerusalem by Israeli occupation forces this Eid morning is an act of recklessness and aggression, designed to provoke religious and political tensions in the City and across Palestine,’ today said Hanan Ashrawi, member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

“We condemn this aggression, which is reprehensible and dangerous and hold the Israeli political establishment fully responsible for its grave consequences,” she said in a statement.

“To score points in election season, Israeli politicians are competing on who can exhibit higher levels of aggression and hostility against the Palestinian people during this important religious holiday, including the endorsement of Israeli settler plans to storm Al Aqsa Compound.

These Israeli attacks and political endorsements of extremism are stoking the flames of religious fervor and threaten to plunge the region in sectarian war.

They reflect a dangerous and irresponsible agenda that must be confronted with blanket and unequivocal international condemnation,” said the PLO official.

She called on the international community “to confront this belligerence and to intervene to stop any further deterioration in Jerusalem.”

IOF closes Ibrahimi Mosque to Muslims
Picture
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday  closed the Ibrahimi Mosque in the Old City of al-Khalil before Muslim worshipers and prevented them from performing their prayers at the holy site, including the Eid al-Adha prayer.

According to local sources, the IOF allowed Jewish settlers to perform their Talmudic rituals at the Mosque and to pitch tents in its courtyards.

Meanwhile, the IOF intensified its presence in al-Khalil and its vicinity and obstructed the movement of Palestinian citizens and vehicles on roads around it.

Israeli police brutally attack Palestinian worshipers at Aqsa Mosque
Israeli police forces savagely attacked Palestinian worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque on Sunday morning, injuring at least 61 Palestinians, according to a Palestinian official source.  

“A number of Palestinians were injured during clashes with Israeli forces inside the the Aqsa mosque compound,” a spokesperson for Jerusalem's Jordan-run Islamic Awqaf Authority, said. video1 video2 video3 video4 video5 video6

“The Palestinians were injured while they were preventing Jewish settlers from storming the holy Mosque,” he added.

The Palestinian Red Crescent, meanwhile, said that at least 61 Palestinians, including noted Islamic Awqaf officials, were injured after
Israeli forces attacked the worshipers with rubber bullets, teargas and clubs, adding that 15 injured citizens were evacuated to nearby hospitals.

Earlier on Sunday, Israeli police prevented settlers from storming the Aqsa Mosque, Israeli media reported.

The police cited the presence of tens of thousands of Palestinian worshipers and the high possibility of clashes.

The Islamic Awqaf Authority in Jerusalem decided to delay Eid prayers to 7.30 a.m. instead of 6.30 a.m. local time to address settlers' call to storm the Aqsa to commemorate the destruction of the alleged temple mount.

Extremist Jewish organizations, known widely as temple mount groups, had called for massive break-ins at the Aqsa during this week.

In this regard, Jordan's foreign ministry has condemned Israeli violations at the Aqsa Mosque as Palestinians mark the first day of Eid al-Adha.

"Jordan strongly rejects Israel's conduct, which only inflames rage and frustration and its provocations of [Muslim] worshipers on the first day of Eid al-Adha," spokesperson for the ministry said.

He added that Israel bears full responsibility for the future ramifications of Sunday's Aqsa clashes and called on the international community to immediately intervene to stop such Israeli practices at the Islamic holy site.

The Israeli occupation police on Sunday morning was forced to prevent groups of Jewish settlers from entering the Aqsa Mosque through al-Maghariba Gate after dozens of thousands of Palestinian worshipers flocked to the Islamic holy site and performed the Eid prayers inside and outside it.

Hundreds of Jerusalemites also rallied outside the Mosque and chanted slogans against Jewish settlers, who had already announced intents to desecrate the Mosque during the first day of Eid al-Adha. video

A few days ago, extremist Jewish groups had incited their followers and supporters to force their way into the Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, the first day of Eid al-Adha, to mark the anniversary of what they called the destruction of the temple mount.

In response to such incitement, the Higher Islamic Commission in Occupied Jerusalem, the Council for Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, and the Council of Fatwa called on all Mosques around the Old City of Jerusalem to close on Eid al-Adha in order to allow more people to join Eid Al-Adha prayers at the Aqsa Mosque compound as a means "to protect the Mosque" against settlers’ intended break-ins.

Jerusalem to close all mosques for Eid al-Adha except Aqsa
Picture
Islamic organizations and bodies in Occupied Jerusalem on Friday announced that all the mosques in the city will be closed during Eid al-Adha except al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Palestinian organizations said in a statement that they will close all mosques across Jerusalem, only allowing Eid prayers to take place at al-Aqsa in a bid to protect the site against planned settler raids.

The statement stressed that the step comes in response to an announcement by the Israeli police that they would conduct an "assessment" of the situation at al-Aqsa in the early hours of Eid al-Adha to decide whether to allow Israeli settlers to enter the mosque.

The statement called on the Palestinians to intensify their presence in al-Aqsa Mosque on the first day of Eid to protect the holy site.

Several extremist settler groups, especially the Temple Mount organization, have called on the Israeli government to allow settler tours inside al-Aqsa Mosque during Eid al-Adha and to prevent the entry of Muslim worshipers during that time.

Official warns against calls made by Jewish groups to storm al-Aqsa mosque on Eid al-Adha
Picture
President Mahmoud 'Abbas' advisor for religious affairs Mahmuod al-Habbash warned against calls made by Jewish extremist groups for their followers to force their way into al-Aqsa mosque compound on the anniversary of the so called “Destruction of the Temple” on Sunday, which also marks Eid al-Adha holiday for Muslims.

Habbash stressed the need for the world to prevent this 'crime’ from taking place before it is too late, stating that such move could trigger religious strife in the region if carried out.

Jewish hardline religious groups have called on their followers to force their way into Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, the day Muslims mark Eid al-Adha holiday, one of the most important holidays in Islam that coincides with the annual pilgrimage to Makkah.

In response to these calls, the Higher Islamic Commission (HIC) in Occupied Jerusalem, the Council for Waqf and Islamic Affairs, and the Supreme Council of Fatwa, an Islamic body based in eastern Jerusalem, called on all mosques around the city of Jerusalem to close on Eid al-Adha, and for Muslims to head toward al-Aqsa mosque compound to protect the mosque and perform the Eid prayer there.

Hanna: Issawiya people’s fortitude will foil Israeli plots
Picture
Father Atallah Hanna has expressed his belief that the steadfastness of the Palestinian citizens in Issawiya district of Occupied Jerusalem will frustrate the occupation’s plan to displace them from their homes and kill their children’s national spirit.

Expressing his solidarity with the local residents during a visit on Monday to Issawiya, Hanna said he was confident that the occupation’s measures against this part of Jerusalem would not succeed in undermining the Palestinian people’s morale.

“The more oppression, injustice and tyranny the Palestinians go through, the more they become adherent to their rights and their attachment to this holy land,” the Archbishop of the Palestinian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem underlined.

Greek Orthodox church files new suit in Jerusalem property battle

The Petra hotel, one of the three properties at the center of the dispute

Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ateret Cohanim, which seeks to increase the Jewish presence in Arab areas of capital, in 2004 purchase of three Old City properties; but patriarchate says deal involved bribery, claims to have 'clear proof' of corruption

The Greek Orthodox Church on Monday filed a new lawsuit in Jerusalem District Court against the Ateret Cohanim settler organization in a bid to overturn a Supreme Court decision upholding the sale of three properties in predominantly Arab parts of the Old City of Jerusalem.

The Supreme Court ruled in June in favor of Ateret Cohanim, which seeks to increase the Jewish presence in Arab areas of the holy city. The sale included two Palestinian-run hotels — Imperial and Petra — located near the Jaffa Gate, and another building near Herod's Gate.


The ruling paved the way for the three properties to be leased for 99 years to Ateret Cohanim, which intends to evacuate the residents of the properties.

The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate initially denied the sale ever took place and said it involved acts of bribery and was illegitimate; however, both the Jerusalem District Court and recently the Supreme Court denied their claims and approved the legality of the sale.
 
But the Patriarchate claimed in a statement Monday that it had "clear proof" of corruption in the long-disputed 2004 sale. The church claims that the sales had been approved by a former official who had no authority to do so.
 
"The Patriarchate stresses that its properties located within the walls of Old City Jerusalem are for the service of pilgrims and visitors of the Holy City especially those on the pilgrim route to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre," the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem said in a statement Monday.

"The Patriarchate will continue to exercise its right and duty of defending itself, the holy sites and the Church heritage."

According to the church, Ateret Cohanim both falsified documents and bribed the official who agreed to the sales.
 
"The new evidence that the Patriarchate has obtained, confirm that Ateret Cohanim and its companies forged documents and initiated court proceedings based on these forged documents, despite Ateret Cohanim’s knowledge that they were forged," the Patriarchate said Monday.
 
"The evidence shows that the suspicious deals of 2004 involved bribes by Ateret Cohanim, and all indications point to the bribes being paid to the then Patriarchate employee, Nicholas Papadimas."
 
Ynet's sister publication, Yedioth Ahronoth, also revealed that former manager of the Petra Hotel, Ted Bloomfield, had received funds for years from Ateret Cohanim in order to push for the sale to take place.

Dozens of settlers defile Aqsa Mosque
Picture
The Israeli occupation police on Monday morning allowed scores of Jewish settlers to desecrate the Aqsa Mosque’s courtyards.

More than 75 settlers, including religious students, entered the Mosque through al-Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police protection, according to local sources.

In July, about 2,500 settlers entered the Mosque in violation of its Islamic sanctity, according to a report released by al-Quds Center for Studies.

The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.
 
The Israeli police close al-Maghariba Gate, which is used by Jews to enter the Mosque, at 10:30 am after the settlers complete their morning tours at the holy site. Later in the afternoon, the same gate is reopened for evening tours by settlers.

During the presence of settlers inside the Mosque compound, entry restrictions are imposed on Muslim worshipers at the entrances leading to the Mosque and their IDs are seized until they leave the holy place.
