The Palestinian National Council (PNC) continued watching and condemns the severe Judaic measures against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, its buildings, yards, chapels and gates, especially the decision of the Israeli Court to close the Bab al-Rahma chapel, which is an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
PNC said in a statement issued today that the Israeli courts are part of the colonial occupation regime in Palestine, which violates the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy, including the decision of the International Court of Justice in 2004 in particular, which confirmed that the demographic city of Jerusalem cannot be changed, therefore the Israeli courts decisions are null and void and will not change the fact that the city of Jerusalem with its Islamic and Christian sanctuaries is an occupied Palestinian city,
PNC confirmed that the decision and other occupation resolutions are considered an unacceptable attack on the right of one billion and seven hundred million Muslims.
PNC praised the solid and courageous positions of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan towards the rights of the Palestinian people, supported by a firm rejection of all measures and policies of the Judaization of the Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem, PNC is praising also the positions of King Abdullah II in his steadfast defense of the Holy City of Jerusalem.
PNC also valued the efforts of the Jordanian Parliament and its Speaker, Eng. Atef Al Tarawneh, in defending the rights of the Palestinian people and putting the issue of Jerusalem and its holy places at the top of its priorities internally and externally.
PNC considered that the Israeli occupation authorities committed in the city of Jerusalem, the capital of the Palestinian state, is inseparable from their crimes in the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories, including the daily attacks on the Palestinian citizens, especially the siege and closure of houses and the arrest of our Palestinian people.
PNC affirmed the right of our people to resist the Israeli occupation and its settlers until the demise of this racist occupation and the departure of the colonists from all the Palestinian territories, and establishing of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and the return of Palestinian refugees to their lands.
The Council saluted the Jerusalemites' steadfastness and their heroic defense, especially the Defence Habitanants (Al-Morabitoon) in defense of their holy city. PNC called upon the Arab and Islamic nations and all the free people of the world to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.
