things that the israeli government is deliberately targeting the sacred site. with me i have a caress separately thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. israel allows was weapons to make program lead to mecca but on the other hand it for birds men under the age of fourteen from entering the mosque during ramadan to pray on fridays how do you explain this contradiction. the suburb this contradiction is due to the fact that they let our brothers who live in the areas by do nine hundred forty eight carry out the harsh suzi is their legal right there are also some political benefits to be gained from demonstrating that there is freedom of religion x. as for the. rules of the strictest their senses on their territory for love it was situated somewhere else that no such measures will be taken yet now the focus is on . the occupation authorities on criticised only for that the most of their actions

deserve criticism and you have said that jewish authorities are trying to sensitize was them sensitivities to access why do you say this. hell will israeli or cubans are trying to make it seem like the al aqsa mosque is not really that important they say that muslims have the holy cities of mecca and medina so they don't need to rush limbaugh or an accident they also want to weaken the link between muslims and palestine since i lack so connects one point five billion muslims to jerusalem and palestine this link is made of belief and faith they think that if they weaken that link loosely and are going to lose interest on our own reality you know what the muslims that don't live in afghanistan and who are most of the bears they know is in danger now as are their beliefs and so whatever the occupants do to diminish alex's significance is bound to fail fashion

you have also said that if the israeli government and fanatical jewish groups since a weak muslim reaction they see this as a green light to move forward so what in fact should muslims do now sadly muslim countries are now more concerned with their domestic issues neglecting the issue of imax or in jerusalem and allowing israeli or keep insta carry out their host plans and they have quite a few of those including the jewish organization of jerusalem and taking control over. there making the most of the numerous domestic problems that the arab and muslim countries are busy addressing right now so they can carry out their plans without any resistance. why do you believe that you are the muslim worlds first line of defense against israeli and jewish ambitions in jerusalem. the thing is jury slim is isolated from other palestinian territories palestinians from the west bank and gaza strip are not allowed into the city not the only people

who can get into the palestinians who live in the areas occupied in one hundred forty eight but they can do that because they live there so it's only the people who live in jerusalem in the areas that i mentioned you can come to iraq. these are the people who protected coordinate action to preserve it so if these people stop going to iraq well there will be no one left to protect it that we are grateful to them for what they do their leisure that's what do you think about israeli claims that the wall and checkpoints are there for security reasons. at israel's claims that the wall was built for security reasons have nothing to do with reality this is not true because they do not observe the nine hundred sixty seven borders they have occupied a lot of palestinian territory in addition to those that were seized in nineteen forty eight secondly making all people feel like prisoners is not the way to solve security issues the way to do that is to ensure security of all people as well as

grant them full human rights a way that would be a fair approach to a wall is not a solution. over the years have the israelis changed their treatment of palestinians wanted to come and pray at al aqsa mosque but mr that. balmoral plenty and the occupation regime treats palestinians in a way which is far from humane their cruel oppressive they don't have mercy for this one nation it's not reported in the media i'm talking about palestinian women who have to always get a chance to give on earth in hospital occupants not ambulances at checkpoints and sometimes because of these delays ambulances cannot get to the women in labor on time how as a result they cannot give birth at a medical facility sometimes the baby dies and even the mother herself can bleed to death and we have very disturbed over three hundred cases of such he may in the havior in the part of israel and the florida keys that i have met with a number of delegations are american scholars and i asked them if they have ever

heard of this and they all said no the western zionist media do not report these cases and my opinion is that these checkpoints are set up to inflict more suffering to kill unborn babies whose mothers have to give birth on the way to hospital them . how far has the israeli digging and i'll ask some mosque on and how much of a problem is that to the structure of the building i have for the. head for the. excavation were more extensive they are digging in two directions from sill one going south and to the west of the mosque but again because of this digging that houses a muslim artifacts get damaged i look at it actually they haven't discovered any jewish antecedents during the excavation and one jewish archaeologists admitted that they had not found a single stone related to jewish history of art but no there's no doubt that this dig will cause destruction of the mosque there already cracked in its southern eastern walls say they remove soil from under the mosque uncovering the foundation

and so the building is hanging in the air geologists say that an earthquake with a magnitude of a five point zero will collapse the structure before they dug out these tunnels the mosque withstood even the worst earthquakes we do it is very dangerous and we have protested against it several times but the authorities have ignored us death several israeli extremists have gone as far as to call for the aqsa mosque to be torn down and for the first and second jewish temples to be built in its place what do you have to say about this imagine what other jewish extremists groups have a lot of power in israel and that they came to power along with the party the current government headed by binyamin netanyahu is working with these extremist groups and so now they are revealing their secret agenda including the plan to destroy the al aqsa mosque so that some of them say that there should be separate visiting days for jews or muslims or others clean and mosques should be under israeli control because it's part of israel they say that it's located within the

old city limits that these aggressive statements and feel their true intentions regarding the mosque why are they not talking about that it's all over the church of the holy sepulcher they're only interested in the al aqsa mosque. we think it's really dangerous people don't think that such claims are backed by the state but in reality that the state support the extremists who make these statements about what way you do or you have complained about what to say is the totally inadequate manner in which was the most states have reacted to his radio efforts to take over a mosque what should was in the states do the law. and we believe the an act of a mosque is not only a sacred place for palestinians before all muslims it means that all muslims must share responsibility for its preservation thought it has a strategic aim in that it serves muslim communities across the world in russia the u.s. and europe. must do what they can to help our cause or that you can use different

leverage diplomatic political or economic above that every country must know the truth and be aware of its responsibility and we do all i can here on the ground our resources are limited we cannot oppose all of israel's plans alone side in what way and why are israeli authorities harassing you and other spiritual leaders today if . israel wants to carry out his plans gradually step by step without much fuss or objection but we keep bringing it up and by doing so we have exposed the plans of the occupation authorities that that's where they use media and press conferences to pressure on us are going to be a part of crush those who stand in the way of the occupiers at the only proves that there is no freedom or democracy in israel that you have democracy for the jewish people and that it doesn't apply to us what have you how do you do you see the palestinian issue being resolved in the future but boy there is still no sign of

this issue will be resolved in the near future. with the netanyahu cabinet in power they want to start negotiations from scratch or israel does all it can to obstruct . the process to prolong the existence of the state or peace talks didn't make any difference for palestinians any of these talks are a waste of time or we can talk about talks with decades that's why i don't think they make any sense is there. what do you think about the way that the palestinian authority is handling the issue of gaining independence. a sort of fall of. the palestinian authorities are weak what the hell is looking for a solution and they want to prove they have achieved something but the talks have actually been a failure and so at the moment we don't have any solution on the horizon in meeting we need to unite to revive our economy and science to be invincible windy day the moment for

a solution come as of the year from the flooding is it fair to say that israel is trying to obliterate the arab islamic identity after a send him to hell a little. bit of israel's policy on the issue is based on the jewish or ization conversation of lands and a lot of construction of settlements so they're working to increase the size of the jewish population and cut the number of arabs there that they do it by putting pressure on their own merchants and arabs in general to push them out of jerusalem into the suburbs no other towns by referring to a crisis in the housing sector israel stopped giving permits for construction so when a young man grows up and decides to set up a family he will not be able to find or build a home or a legal even if he finds one of the rent will be too high to afford that he will be offended at the so even without declaring its intentions israel is reading jerusalem of arabs of israel doesn't talk publicly about this but according to my observations the population of jerusalem is growing on nine hundred sixty seven

there were seventy thousand arabs today there are more than three hundred thousand in one of these prophecies and hammett was asked about where his followers should go after he leaves and he said that. denise should stay in the car does not seem jerusalem where they lived at the time in this way he passed all generations to come to live in the city. so the subway thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. . wealthy british style.
