AMMAN (Dispatches) – The head of the Reform Bloc in the Jordanian Parliament, Saleh al-Armouti, has asserted that Arab normalization with the Zionist regime has encouraged its aggression on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Speaking to Felesteen newspaper, al-Armouti also stated that the security cooperation between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the occupying regime encouraged the occupation’s aggression on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
“Israeli violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity,” he said, adding, “They violate all the signed agreements that Israel has already ignored.”
According to al-Armouti, the Zionist aggression, “Aims to demolish al-Aqsa Mosque and to build the so-called Jewish Temple on its ruins.”
Al-Armouti called on Arab states to cut their ties with the occupying regime and expel its ambassadors “who head intelligence missions”. He stated that the regime “is planning to occupy the whole region. Today, the Israeli occupation is bullying the Palestinians, and tomorrow, it is bullying Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Syria and so on.”
He called for activating the international resolutions that declared Al-Quds an Arab city and those who ordered the regime to withdraw from the lands occupied in 1967, and urged the world and Arab states to immediately move to protect Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Jordanian MP also pressed Palestinians to reactivate armed resistance, which was cancelled from the Palestinian National Charter: “Because Al-Quds will not be liberated except by resistance.”
On Friday, dozens of Palestinian protesters were injured in clashes with Zionist troops in several West Bank cities and villages, Palestinian medics said.
Fierce clashes broke out between anti-settlement protesters and Zionist troops, during which six people were shot by rubber bullets, including an eight-year-old boy, while dozens inhaled teargas fired by Israeli troops, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement. The protesters burned tires and threw stones at Israeli soldiers.
In Beita village, south of Nablus city, people have been protesting against a nearby settlement that has been allegedly encroaching the land of the village since May 2021.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians attended the funeral of a seven-year-old child, Rayan Suleiman, who died on Thursday after being chased by Zionist troops in the village of Tekoa, southeast of Bethlehem.
