I’ve not read anything bout this before, so I have to wonder if he is just making stuff up. If those Readers who know more about Israel would weigh in, I’d be grateful. [AlAhram] He added that the excavation work carried out under the al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings in Jerusalem represents a serious threat to the mosque.Egypt’s Mufti Shawki Allam strongly condemned the Israeli aggression and violations in the occupied Paleostinian territories, including "the latest attacks on the graves of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad as well as Arab and Moslem deaders in Jerusalem." In an official statement, Allam called on the international community to assume its full responsibilities and stop the Israeli attacks against Paleostinian lands and sacred sites, upholding the principles of international law, international legitimacy and decisions, as well as and the principles of human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... The Mufti, who is also the secretary-general for Fatwa Authorities Worldwide, warned of "the continuation of the Israeli occupation’s plans to Judaise the occupied city of East Jerusalem, disfigure its features, and obliterate its true identity," describing Israeli acts as "a stark violation of the sanctity of the dead." He underscored that the excavation work carried out under the al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings in Jerusalem represents a serious threat to the mosque. Egypt has repeatedly condemned Israeli plans to build thousands of Jewish settlement units in East Jerusalem. In mid-December, the Israeli government approved a plan to construct 8,300 settlement units in seized Paleostinian land in south Jerusalem. Egypt has maintained its position of rejecting illegal settlements in Paleostinian territories, as well as its full support for establishing a Paleostinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital based on the borders of 1967. |
