Sheikh Dr.Yusuf Juma Salamah, the Khatib of the Holy Mosque of Al Aqsa as well as First Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Islamic Authority in Al Quds appealed Sunday to the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), The AlQuds Commission, the Muslim World League (MWL) and the League of Arab States (Arab League) on the dire need to move fast and effectively to save the Al-Aqsa mosque and to stop the Israeli aggression and attacks on the city of Jerusalem. Sheikh Salamah denounced the Israeli decision of the conversion of 88 houses of the Al Bustan neighborhood in the town of Silwan to a public park noting that this decision will result in the unjust deportation of nearly 1,500 Palestinian citizens from the town of Silwan in East Jerusalem. In a statement issued today, he said that the Israeli occupation authorities are aiming to bring about demographic changes in the holy city, engage in deporting Palestinians, confiscating their property, and working to increase the number of Jewish settlers in the city to nearly one million Jewish settlers during the next ten years. Dr. Salamah held Israeli government responsible for those dangerous acts, warning that this would lead to serious consequences. He said no one can predict the results, noting that the subversion of the Holy Mosque of Al-Aqsa is ravaging the Islamic doctrine of all Muslims around the world.
