“We call on the Palestinian people to intensify their presence at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and defend it as Israeli colonial settler groups are planning to continue their raids into the Muslim sacred site on the last ten days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

“We warn the Israeli occupation against committing any foolish act against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestinian worshippers and the Palestinian citizens of occupied Jerusalem.

“We call on the Arab and Muslim nations and international organisations to assume their responsibilities and put an end to the fascist Israeli occupation government’s aggression against the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

“Such aggression poses a threat to peace and security in the region and is tantamount to an assault on the beliefs of all Muslims.”“Hamas calls on Palestinians to intensify presence at Al-Aqsa Mosque,” Hamas, April 11, 2023, https://hamas.ps/en/post/4670/Hamas-calls-on-Palestinians-to-intensify-presence-at-Al-Aqsa-Mosque.
