Speaker of the Advisory (Shura) Council, H E Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khulaifi, at the Emergency Conference of Arab Parliamentary Union (APU) in the Moroccan city of Rabat.
Rabat: Speaker of the Advisory (Shura) Council, H E Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khulaifi, yesterday stressed that Israel as an occupying state of the Arab lands has underestimated over seven decades international laws, treaties, charters and international organisations, with the support of a number of countries, organisations and groups under Zionist influence.
In his address before the 25th Emergency Conference of Arab Parliamentary Union (APU) in the Moroccan city of Rabat, Al Khulaifi said since its establishment against the Arab stolen land, Israel has continued to expand and Judaize the Palestinian occupied territories taking advantage of the weakness of solidarity and unity of the Arab ranks, flagrantly violating international treaties and laws and exploiting historical circumstances that led to the weakness of the Arab and Islamic nations.
We meet today in response to the call of truth and the cry of Al-Aqsa, the first Qibla and the third of the two holy Sanctuaries, which marks the place from which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was blessed with Isra and where all the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon them) prayed in, Al Khulaifi said, wondering how don’t we respond to the call of a mosque blessed by Allah, the Almighty, and for which thousands of Mujahideen have been martyred over history.
Al Aqsa, which symbolises the dignity of Islam, fell into the hands of the enemies of Islam only when its defenders have weakened and the will of the Muslin nation, which Allah the Almighty has blessed as a balanced (Wasat) nation, was split, Al Khulaifi emphasised.
Al Khulaifi warned that over the past two weeks, Israel had erected electronic gates at the entrances of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and replaced them with security cameras under popular Palestinian pressure, citing security reasons for securing Al-Aqsa Mosque and its visitors, pointing out that Israeli occupation authorities were forced to remove them.
However, we were conscious and aware of Israel’ s attempts to repeat the same scenario carried out in 1994 at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron as part of its strategy and plan of Judaization, which since then imposed a de facto division between Muslims and Jews.
