Palestinian factions warn against Likudists entry of Al-Aqsa mosque

GAZA, Feb 10 (KUNA) -- Palestinian factions Friday warned thousands of the Israeli Likud party members against storming Al-Aqsa Mosque next Sunday.
Ahmad Qurei, member of PLO's Executive Committee, said those Likuk members planned to "call for building their so-called Jewish skeleton on the remnants of this mosque.
"These repeated calls over the intention to build the so-called skeleton at the expense of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Israeli supreme court's decision to allow Jews to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque is paving the way to dividing Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews ...," said Qurei.
The mosque is "a private and exclusive property of Muslims," he said.
He called on the international diplomatic Quartet, international organizations and UN agencies to confront the Israeli plans.
Qurei called on the Jerusalemites and Palestinians in territories occupied in 1948 to flock to Al-Aqsa mosque next Sunday to safeguard its sacredness.
Palestinian resistance Islamic movement, Hamas, meanwhile, also warned against the provocative move of the Likud party members.
"We warn the zionist occupation from the consequences of this visit to the Al-Aqsa mosque in occupied Al-Quds, and we consider it as a reckless move vis-a-vis the feeling of the Muslims and a challenge to feelings of Palestinians," Hamas official Ismail Radhwan said in a statement.
The Israeli supreme court had recently allowed the Jews to enter Al-Aqsa mosque and its yards to pray in them.
