Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas, said today that Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s remarks are utterly rejected, and are an attempt to legitimize the temporal and spatial division of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Abu Rudeineh urged the Palestinian people to head to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem and to thwart the ongoing Israeli onslaught on the holy site.
“We hold the Israeli government responsible for this escalation, and we call on the US administration to break its silence and stop this aggression that will inflame the entire region,” said Abu Rudeineh.
The presidential spokesman stressed that “our Palestinian people will not allow this conspiracy to pass, whatever the price and whatever the sacrifices.”
