Hamas Calls on Palestinian People to Rally at Al-Aqsa Mosque
Doha – Saba: The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) called on the Palestinian people in Al-Quds, the West Bank, and the occupied territories to rally at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, defend it, and rebuild it, and to confront the terrorist Zionist enemy government's attempt to Judaize it. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), Hamas considered the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by dozens of Zionist settlers under the protection of the Zionist enemy police, and their performance of Talmudic rituals there after the mosque was emptied of worshippers, an escalation in Zionist violations of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Hamas Official: Ongoing crimes in West Bank demand continued resistance
Ramallah - Saba: Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Mardawi stated that the attacks by settlers in the West Bank are being sponsored by the "Zionist enemy government," war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu—who is wanted by the International Criminal Court—and the Israeli army. He emphasized that the continuous crimes necessitate sustained resistance from the Palestinian people. In press statements on Sunday, Al-Mardawi stressed that the Palestinian people will continue their resistance despite all the enemy's attempts to break their resolve, adding that torture has not deterred the resistance fighters from persisting in their struggle. He explained that recent events in Hebron are part of the ongoing resistance efforts, affirming that the enemy cannot be defeated without genuine resistance. Al-Mardawi noted that the Gaza Strip is leading a significant resistance against the aggression, despite the escalating crimes committed by the enemy. The Hamas official called on the Palestinian masses in occupied Quds, the West Bank, and the occupied interior to confront the attempts by the "terrorist enemy government" to Judaize Al-Aqsa Mosque. He also urged Arab and Islamic nations to take effective action to protect the Muslims' first Qibla from the "desecration" of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the tampering with its Islamic identity.

Israeli Court Upholds Expulsion of Palestinian Rajabi Family from Silwan
DayofPal– An Israeli court has upheld the forced expulsion of the Rajabi family from their home in the Batn Al-Hawa neighborhood of Silwan, located just south of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem. The decision, issued Sunday by the Central Court, marks the end of a years-long legal battle and the final rejection of the family's appeals against eviction efforts spearheaded by the right-wing settler organization Ateret Cohanim. The court ruled in favor of Ateret Cohanim's claim that the land in question once belonged to Yemeni Jews who settled in the area in 1881, decades before the founding of the State of Israel. The ruling affirms a previous decision by the Israeli Supreme Court, which last year upheld the legitimacy of the settler group's claim and authorized the eviction of the Rajabi family. The property at the center of the dispute comprises a three-story building housing 16 people across three apartments. The Wadi Hilweh Information Center, a Palestinian media group based in Silwan, confirmed the court's ruling and warned of its broader implications for the neighborhood. In a statement, the Jerusalem Governorate condemned the expulsion as part of 'a systematic policy of ethnic cleansing' aimed at altering the demographic and cultural character of East Jerusalem. Human rights organizations and Palestinian officials say the ruling is emblematic of Israel's broader strategy to Judaize Silwan and surrounding areas through a combination of legal action, state-backed settlement activity, and intensified enforcement measures. The Rajabi family is one of dozens targeted by Ateret Cohanim, which launched a wave of lawsuits in 2015 seeking the removal of Palestinian residents from Batn Al-Hawa. The group claims ownership of the land based on 19th-century trust documents allegedly linking the properties to Jewish residents from Yemen. According to the Batn Al-Hawa neighborhood committee, more than 80 Palestinian families in the area, home to over 10,000 resident, are currently facing expulsion threats. Zohair Rajabi, head of the committee and a member of the displaced family, accused the Israeli judiciary of acting in concert with settler groups. 'This is not justice,' Rajabi said following the court's decision. 'The courts are working in full coordination with settler organizations to expel us from our homes and erase our history.' In recent months, Israeli courts have issued additional expulsion orders targeting other Palestinian families in Batn Al-Hawa, including the Odeh and Shweiki households, under similar legal arguments advanced by settler entities. Silwan, which spans approximately 5,640 dunams, is home to around 60,000 Palestinians. An estimated 3,000 Israeli settlers now reside in the neighborhood, many of whom are affiliated with groups like Ateret Cohanim and Elad, an influential settler organization founded in 1986 by former Israeli army officer David Be'eri. Backed by state institutions and aided by favorable court rulings, Elad has seized at least 87 buildings in Silwan over the past decade. Zohair Rajabi warned that an additional 87 families, representing between 700 and 800 people, remain under immediate threat of displacement. 'This is a coordinated and deliberate campaign to empty Jerusalem of its Palestinian residents,' he said. The escalation of evictions has been accompanied by an increase in demolitions, arrests, and legal pressure on Palestinian communities in East Jerusalem. Human rights advocates have called for international intervention, arguing that the policy violates international law and undermines any prospects for a future political resolution in the city.

Zionist Enemy's Storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque: Ongoing judaization attempts aiming to impose new reality
Occupied Quds – Saba: The storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremist Zionists carries messages, the most significant of which confirms the Zionist enemy's insistence on violating the existing status quo in the city and proceeding with its plans to Judaize Al-Quds and impose a new reality on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Zionist Schemes and Rabbinic Efforts to Impose a New Reality on Al-Aqsa Amid clear exploitation of the current Arab and Islamic weakness and submission, the occupying entity is pushing forward with organizing a massive incursion by thousands, led by officials of the entity's government—a major desecration of the sanctities of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam. The dangers facing Al-Aqsa Mosque and the city of Al-Quds are escalating under Zionist schemes and rabbinic efforts to Judaize Al-Aqsa and divide it temporally and spatially, attempting to establish a permanent and direct Jewish presence within it. Al-Aqsa Mosque is subjected to systematic and escalating Zionist violations and incursions, to the point where the storming by Zionist settlers and their performance of rituals in its courtyards or the alleys of the Old City in occupied Quds under the "protection" of enemy forces have become almost a daily occurrence, posing a threat to the identity of Al-Aqsa. Under the protection of enemy forces, Zionist settlers deliberately and provocatively storm Al-Aqsa Mosque during their religious holidays, in a blatant act of desecration against the sanctity of the mosque, violating its holiness in the eyes of Muslims worldwide. Mass Settler Incursions and Flag March On Monday, thousands of Zionist settlers, including ministers in the enemy's government and Knesset members, roamed the streets of occupied Quds and the alleys of its Old City on the 58th anniversary of its occupation according to the Hebrew calendar, in what is called the "Flag March." This march was accompanied by widespread incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, assaults on Palestinian citizens, their shops, and journalists, as well as the storming of the UNRWA headquarters in Sheikh Jarrah, where slogans demanding "control and occupation" were raised, according to the official Palestinian news agency. This large-scale incursion comes as part of Zionist celebrations marking the anniversary of the occupation of the eastern part of AlQuds (according to the Hebrew calendar). The Islamic Waqf Department reported that 2,092 settlers participated in the incursions during both the morning and afternoon periods. According to the Palestinian Ma'an Agency, settlers carried out their incursions into Al-Aqsa in consecutive groups via the Mughrabi Gate, whose keys have been controlled by the enemy authorities since the occupation of Al-Quds. The number of intruders came in waves, as the Israeli enemy police had announced that they would allow six groups to be present in Al-Aqsa simultaneously to maximize the number of entrants on this day. During the incursions, Al-Aqsa turned into a stage for raising the flags of the Israeli enemy, with groups of settlers hoisting flags inside the mosque—some placing them on their shoulders, others waving them high in provocative actions aimed at inciting Muslim sentiments worldwide. Settlers Perform Rituals Under Enemy Protection The Zionist settlers performed collective prayers, danced, sang, and recited prayers throughout Al-Aqsa Mosque. They formed various prayer circles and managed to bring in prayer tools to perform their rituals in its courtyards under the protection of enemy police. Extremist Zionist Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir led the incursions, accompanied by several members of the Zionist Knesset. Muslims Barred from Entering Al-Aqsa The enemy authorities prevented Muslims from entering Al-Aqsa from the early morning hours, deploying large numbers of forces at the mosque's gates and setting up iron barriers. They instructed Muslim worshippers to return after 3:30 PM—after the incursions had ended. Continuous Violations Since 1967 Since its usurpation of Al-Quds on June 5, 1967, the Israeli enemy has not ceased its relentless attempts to Judaize the city and its Islamic and Christian holy sites, altering their landmarks through settlement construction and expansion, seizing or demolishing Palestinian houses under flimsy pretexts, daily incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and attacks on worshippers—a clear violation of the "Status Quo" agreement in the city, which stipulates that the situation in Jerusalem must remain as it was before the occupation. What is the "Status Quo" Agreement? In 1852, the Ottoman Empire issued a series of decrees to manage Christian holy sites in Al-Quds, regulating access after repeated disputes. This arrangement was later enshrined in international law under the Treaty of Berlin in 1878, officially known as the Status Quo agreement. Under the Treaty of Berlin, the law expanded to include Islamic and Jewish religious sites in Al-Quds, making the Status Quo agreement in Al-Quds an internationally binding law. Subsequently, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan assumed guardianship over the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamic and Christian holy sites in AlQuds as part of the Status Quo agreement. After occupying the eastern part of Al-Quds in June 1967, the Israeli enemy entity formally recognized the Status Quo agreement to avoid international escalation and condemnation. However, the actions of successive enemy governments since then have repeatedly violated this agreement. Al-Quds's Legal Status Under International Law The legal status of Al-Quds is based on international law and resolutions of international legitimacy, most notably: - UN General Assembly Resolution 181 - UN Security Council Resolution 242 and subsequent resolutions, including 252, 267, 2334, and others, which called for the Israeli enemy's withdrawal from territories occupied in 1967, including Al-Quds, and the invalidity of Zionist unilateral measures in the occupied territories, including the Holy City—such as settlement construction and altering the city's status and character. In September 2024, the UN General Assembly adopted by majority a resolution demanding that the Israeli entity, the occupying power, "end its illegal presence in the occupied Palestinian territory," including East Jerusalem, within 12 months, based on an advisory opinion requested by the General Assembly from the International Court of Justice regarding the legal consequences of the Israeli enemy's policies and practices in Palestine. Experts Confirm: Israel Seeks to Impose a New Reality Experts and specialists on Al-Quds affairs confirm that the Israeli enemy is attempting to impose a new reality on the ground, asserting that Al-Quds will never be divisible in any form. They also emphasized that the steadfastness of Palestinian citizens and their attachment to their city have thwarted the enemy's plans to Judaize it. While the enemy may Judaize the geographical reality through settlements, walls, and military barriers, it cannot overcome the city's demographic reality. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Israel Plans to Build 22 New Settlements in West Bank
Israa Farhan Israel has declared its intention to build 22 new settlements across the occupied West Bank, including the formal approval of previously unauthorized outposts. The decision was announced Thursday and is seen as a major expansion of Israeli presence in the territory captured during the 1967 war. Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the move strengthens Israel's control over the area, referring to it by its biblical names, Judea and Samaria. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also confirmed the plan, saying it would enhance Israel's hold on the eastern front, boost national security, and prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. The newly announced settlements will span the north, center, and south of the West Bank, including four positioned near the Jordanian border. Some of the areas to be rebuilt include former settlements like Homesh and Sa-Nur, which were evacuated in 2005 during Israel's disengagement from Gaza. The Israeli government, considered the most hardline in its history, says the plan is a strategic response to Palestinian attacks and a fulfilment of what it views as a historic right to the land. Palestinian groups, including Hamas, condemned the move, calling it a direct attempt to Judaize Palestinian land and a breach of international law. Human rights groups argue that this step further entrenches the occupation and eliminates prospects for a future Palestinian state. Over 500,000 settlers currently live in the West Bank among nearly 3 million Palestinians, under Israeli military control. The decision comes just ahead of a planned international conference aimed at reviving the two-state solution. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
