The ambassador also noted “the Palestinian society, regardless of their political and sectarian affiliations, categorically reject the electronic gates placed at the entrances of Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli police.”

“Peace and unity will not be achieved in the world unless the Jerusalem issue is solved,” he added.

On her part, Deputy Secretary-General of the Islamic Movement, Raja Hassan Khalifa, said: “The electronic gates in front of Al-Aqsa are a new desecration from Israel, and should be removed immediately.”

“These electronic gates are a form of humiliation to control the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Since Sunday, Palestinians in Jerusalem have protested against Israeli occupation forces placing electronic gates at the entrances of Al-Aqsa and have insisted that they be removed.

The worshipers refuse to enter the mosque through these gates, and pray in the streets surrounding it instead.
