Haneyya: The Aqsa Mosque faces serious judaization process sanctioned by the IOA

January 24, 2007

Gaza - PA premier Ismael Haneyya has deprecated the Israeli occupation government's expansion in and around the occupied city of Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque, including permitting fanatic Jewish groups to build a synagogue about 150 meters away from the Dome of the Rock Mosque among other serious procedures.

Haneyya furthermore accused the IOA of attempting to create facts on the ground and judaize the holy Muslim city, affirming that his government pays great attention to the issue, and that it was and still is very much concerned with extending all forms of support to Palestinian Jerusalemites to enable them defend the city and thwart Israel's harmful schemes against it.



The PA premier's remarks came during the weekly session of his cabinet Tuesday where he underlined his government's utmost concern with bringing the inter-Palestinian national dialogue into full success, and of reaching a solution to bail the Palestinian people out of the crises engulfing them.

Moreover, the prime minister raised extreme concern over disturbing reports on the miserable social and security conditions of the Palestinian refugees in Iraq, affirming that his government was and still is closely following their issue, and trying its best to spare those refugees rampant violence in that war-torn country.

In this regard, Haneyya urged all concerned parties, including Iraqi officials and UN human rights agencies among other parties to extend all possible help that would save lives of those refugees.

In a related matter, the Aqsa foundation that caters for Muslim holy shrines in Palestine accused Israeli company producing Spirits of maliciously posting photo of the Dome of the Rock Mosque on whisky bottles, warning that the company's act constitutes plain sacrilegious act against Muslims, and undermines the feeling of 1.4 billion Muslims worldwide.

"This act is tantamount to declaration of war against Islam and Muslims' holiest shrines" the Islamic Movement in the 1948-occupied Palestinian lands charged in a statement it issued in condemning the company's profane act.
