Palestinian presidency says Israel snubs international efforts

International

Palestinian presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said on Monday that “the Israeli occupation forces brutal storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and assault against worshipers is a new challenge for the international community, specifically the efforts by the US administration.”

He stressed that the Israeli occupation government has snubbed all international efforts and interventions, according to WAFA News Agency.

“The Palestinian leadership and people will not allow these Israeli plans to be carried out,” said the presidential spokesman.

Moreover, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh today strongly condemned the Israeli assault against worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, warning that this action may have serious repercussions.

Speaking at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting held in Ramallah specifically to discuss the urgent developments in East Jerusalem, particularly today’s events at Al-Aqsa Mosque, Shtayyeh said that he holds the Israeli occupation government responsible for the assault.

“We condemn the Israeli occupation forces’ incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque at dawn this morning and the injury of dozens of worshippers in preparation for an attack by  the extreme (Israeli) right wing groups on its courtyards. I hold the Israeli government fully responsible for what happened to the worshippers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” he said.

Shtayyeh warned of the consequences of these assaults and attempts to evict Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood from their homes in order to replace them with Israeli settlers.

He called for an immediate intervention from the international community to put a stop to these horrendous violations and to provide protection to the Palestinian civilians in the occupied territories, particularly in Jerusalem, which is facing ethnic cleansing.
