In a press release issued on Thursday, Dr. Redwan pointed out that 1300 Israeli settlers and soldiers have stormed al-Aqsa Mosque during April, while 70 Palestinians were banned from having access to the mosque for different periods of time 70 others were injured in the Israeli attacks. 135 Jerusalemites were arrested during April, he added, indicating that Jerusalemites are still subjected to brutal Israeli violations and attacks on their properties and freedom of worship as part of Israeli Judaization schemes. He said that a number of Israeli female soldiers have tried to perform Talmudic rituals in al-Aqsa Mosque under Israeli police protection, but Palestinian worshipers and students confronted them and forced them to leave the mosque. He condemned Knesset Member Tzipi Hotobili for having raised the Israeli flag above holy al-Aqsa Mosque after having claimed that it was “the only politically and ideologically valuable place for Israelis.” Redwan held Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) responsible for such desecration conspiracies and provocative violations targeting al-Aqsa sanctity and Muslims around the world.
