Sheikh Mohammad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, said today that increasing breaks-in by Israeli settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound are an attempt to alter the historic and religious status quo inside the holy site.
Speaking to the Voice of Palestine radio, Hussein said the Mosque is a pure Islamic holy site that is the sole right of Muslims, and that Israeli Jewish settlers have no right to pray or perform rituals there.
He demanded the Arab and Muslim world to intervene to stop the ongoing Israeli incursions on Al-Aqsa and the holy sites in occupied Jerusalem.
