AMMAN —
The
Palestinian Authority’s (PA) deputy governor of occupied East Jerusalem,
Abdullah Siam, said on Sunday that Israel is inching closer to creating new
facts on the ground by intensifying incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque, according
to Al-Mamlaka TV.

Siam said that Israel is adopting a
series of measures in the occupied eastern part of Jerusalem aimed at
“uprooting its Palestinian residents and replacing them with settlers”.
“The occupation sees itself within
striking distance of realizing its most dangerous plan of dividing
Al-Aqsa Mosque, both spatially and temporally, and threatening the Dome of the Rock,”
according to Siam.
He said that
settlers’ incursions are done under the protection of dozens of soldiers, and
that the most painful scenes are those in which Palestinian worshipers are
arrested, before and during the incursions, which disturbs the spiritual
atmosphere of the mosque.
Israel simply ignores international resolutions
and acts with impunity because it knows that it will never be held to account,
Siam stressed.
Jordan on Sunday condemned the ongoing
Israeli violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif, the latest of which
was allowing extremist settlers and a Knesset member to storm the complex,
under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
