Islamic-Christian Committee cautions that Israel's treatment of Al-Aqsa threatens its commitment to Islam
The Islamic-Christian Committee in Support of Jerusalem and its Sanctuaries issued a warning Wednesday that the Al-Aqsa Mosque might lose its Islamic identity as a result of the latest Israeli judaization efforts. The committee said in a statement that the actions were "unprecedented" and that they "pose an existential threat to Al-Aqsa Mosque and its Islamic identity." The committee reaffirmed the Israeli occupation's "qualitative move towards the violation of the legal and historical status quo, as well as to forcibly create a new Jewish reality." It claimed that Israel was "to give the Israeli occupation forces permission to facilitate settler raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque and allow large numbers to desecrate it and perform Talmudic rituals." Up to 200 fanatical Jewish settlers have invaded the Al-Aqsa Mosque since the early hours of the morning, heavily guarded by Israeli occupation police.
