Islamic Movement MPs: We do not need permission from anyone to enter the Aqsa mosque

    MPs Masoud Ghanayem, Abdel Hakim Haj Yahya and Talab Abu Arar, deputies of the Islamic Movement, from the United Arab List, responded to the Israeli Prime Minister’s decision by allowing Knesset members to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque, saying “we, as Muslims and Arabs, do not need the approval of the Israeli government or the Israeli prime minister to enter our holiest sanctuary in the country, and we have the right to enter it to pray at any time, and there is no right for the Jews there, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque is an occupied area and Israel must immediately withdraw from it. We will continue to exercise our right to enter the Aqsa Mosque to pray in it and do not wait for approval or permission from the Prime Minister of Israel, or from the Israeli government. “
    They added “We have entered to al-Aqsa at all times, and miserable political decisions will not prevent us from that. We warn of the continued desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by ministers, members of the Jewish Knesset, the settlers and others. The incursions must be stopped immediately and the Israeli government bears the consequences of its policies towards Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
