Hamas on Saturday warned of any harm done to the holy Aqsa Mosque in the light of the repeated Jewish fanatic threats to blast it. Sami Abu Zuhri, Hamas spokesman, said that his Movement held Israel responsible for any such harm and urged Muslims to shoulder their responsibility vis-a-vis such threats.
“The Zionist information on presence of such planning was a clear attempt to prepare for it actually taking place,” Abu Zuhri conveyed. He said, “We believe the Hebrew state is providing cover for those fanatic groups that attempt to attack the Aqsa Mosque, and we consider such threats as official Zionist threats.”
Meanwhile, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of the Hamas Movement’s prominent leaders in the West Bank, has told a rally in Ramallah after the Friday congregation that releasing all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation jails was a prime condition for continuing in the calming down.
Yousef pledged that his Movement and all other forces would exert all efforts possible to impose Palestinian standards on occupation in this question in order to ensure release of all prisoners starting with the oldest serving ones, leaders, women and patients. “The matter needs time but the Palestinian standards will be accepted in the end and we will witness the release of all captives with the grace of Allah,” he expressed conviction.
