The Director General of the Jerusalem International Foundation Yassin Hammoud said that any form of Israeli security measures in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque is unacceptable.

In a press statement Thursday, Hammoud called on the Jerusalemites, Palestinians inside and Arab and Muslim nations to be aware of circumventing their demands to remove all Israeli security measures and to open all the gates of al-Aqsa that were open to all worshipers of all ages and groups.

He stressed the non-interference of the occupation authorities in the work of the Islamic Endowments Department, the sole and exclusive authority concerned with the administration of al-Aqsa.

His statements came in response to the news that the occupation agreed to remove the electronic gates from the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque in return for his policemen to search the worshipers manually and to adopt alternative Israeli security measures.

Hamood called on everyone not to pay attention to the rumors broadcast by the occupation to vent the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic anger.

He stressed that the word at this stage for the Jerusalemites and the defenders of the Al-Aqsa truthfully, and not for those who want to conclude suspicious deals lose the sanctities of the nation and the sacrifices of the Palestinian people and their loyal brothers of Arabs and Muslims.
