Yesterday Monday, Settlers led by the extremist Rabi Yehudah Glick, broke into the courtyards of Al Aqsa Mosque, under the intense protection of the Israeli occupation police.

The Chamber of Awqaf said that Glick had broken into Al-Aqsa with dozens of settlers from the Maghrebi Gate, carried out provocative tours in its yards and received explanations of the alleged temple, while some had performed Talmudic rituals off the Bab Al-Rahma chapel and the dome of the rock.

Settler incursions into Al-Aqsa came at a time when Palestinians were calling for the protection of Islamic and Christian sacraments. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh, at the beginning of yesterday's meeting of the Palestinian Government, said: "The continuing aggression of the Israeli occupation and settlers and the attempts to complete ethnic cleansing and forced displacement of Palestinians belonging to land, history and identity, particularly the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Ibrahimi mosque, need urgent international, Arab and Islamic intervention to put an end to the violations and crimes of occupation.

The settler aggressions did not stop yesterday at the Al Aqsa, where the Mayor of Derastia said that the settlers established two mobile houses in Hariqa Abo Zahir, west of the town threatened for takeover, and the one near settlement of (Hafat Yair). Zaidane mentioned that a few settlers bulldozed the lands and established a road that reaches the area before 10 days. Moreover, hundreds of settlers broke through Al Masoudiah historical area northern of Nablus.

On the other hand, Mayor Mohamed Azim of Spysatia said that hundreds of settlers had broken into the historic Mesaudia area, which includes the remains of two buildings of the Hajjaz train track, opposite the archaeological site of the town, as part of an invasion programme announced days earlier. The archaeological site in Spysatia was part of a programme of incursions planned by settlers. In the village of Burin, south of Nablus, settlers set fire to dozens of olive trees on Palestinian land there. A group of Yitzahar settlers burned dozens of olive trees in the area.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs held the Israeli Government responsible for the crimes of Jewish terrorist hotbeds in the West Bank. In a press statement, Monday, Foreign Affairs said that "By a decision of the political level in Israel and the protection of the occupation army, Jewish terrorist hotbeds are deployed in the occupied West Bank from its north to its south, to terrorize Palestinian citizens in the areas targeted by settlement and prevent them from gaining access to their land in order to take control of it, as well as the role played by these hotbeds, as stops for a culture of hatred, extremism and racism, by settler militias."

Foreign affairs condemned violations and crimes of occupation and settlers, including the murder of shooting a young man with special needs east of Bethlehem, the crime of burning olive trees in Burin and the ongoing crimes of ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem and Al-Aghwar.

Shtayyeh warned of the serious repercussions of Israel's continuing policies of persecution and racism, particularly in the occupied city of Jerusalem, and in all villages and towns in the West Bank, which had witnessed extensive house demolitions, property seizures and the killing of children and young people defending their land and homes.

The Prime Minister condemned the intention of the so-called "Jewish National Fund," to agree to set aside large sums for the seizure of thousands of dunums in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, to expand settlement, reflecting the attempts to annex and destroy the possibility of establishing a Palestinian State. While Foreign Affairs considered that the international community should act against all forms of discrimination, apartheid, and persecution by the occupying Power in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
