Palestinian Resistance Groups Condemn Netanyahu's Al-Buraq Plaza Visit, Urge Arab Action
The Palestinian Resistance Committees have condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Al-Buraq Plaza, describing it as an assault on the sanctity of Islamic holy sites. The group asserted its rejection of any measures aimed at establishing new realities in Jerusalem, emphasizing that the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamic holy sites are "not subject to bargaining." They stated that protecting these sites and preserving their identity is a collective responsibility for Arab and Islamic nations.
The committees called for practical, political, and legal actions from the Arab and Islamic world to safeguard the holy sites and counter attempts to alter their identity. They stressed that dealing with the issue requires more than just condemnatory statements, urging concrete measures to preserve the sites.
Furthermore, the Resistance Committees urged Palestinians to increase their presence and engagement at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, framing it as a way to bolster resilience in Jerusalem and defend the holy sites. They also called for support for Jerusalem's residents to enhance their steadfastness, viewing increased presence at Al-Aqsa as a key strategy against perceived threats to Islamic sites.
The statement aligns with the group's consistent stance on Jerusalem's Islamic holy sites, combining calls for collective Arab and Islamic action with encouragement for Palestinians to intensify their presence at Al-Aqsa. The committees concluded by reiterating the necessity of protecting the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its Islamic holy sites, urging collective responsibility and reinforcing the steadfastness and defense efforts of Jerusalem's residents.
