All residents, you are asked to leave the premise
in a number of minutes we will permit your return to pray.
I ask that you leave the premise so that we will enable you to
conduct your mid-day prayer. At this moment, we are conducting
a cleaning of the Mosque plaza so that you will not be endangered
you and the worshippers. I ask that you listen
to the Police instructions and leave the premise.
I ask that you act in an orderly manner.
Honor this place, it is a place of worship.
You are entering-in. I trust you. Good luck.
This oppression and this barbarism by the occupation repressed
our people and emptied the Al-Aqsa mosque compound
while all the world was watching. We condemn this, the people
all over the world saw this on all the screens, this barbarism is used
by the occupation to suppress the safe worshippers who came
to attend morning prayer, they were suppressed
and some young men were detained.
Here I should praise every Palestinian and Jordanian
Islamic Waqf workers who stand tall like a turret and those who throw
rocks at Zionists who desecrate Al Aqsa mosque with the protection
of the Israeli occupation government. The most dangerous time was two
days ago when we found out that there was an attempt to change
the status quo, and divide Haram Al-Sharif into separate
spaces and hours (for Muslims and Jews).
I view with utmost severity the remarks accusing Israel
of the violence directed against us, and there are those who are
encouraging rock-throwing and the use of violence against
the citizens of the State of Israel. This is unacceptable to us.
This constitutes a reward for the inciters, chief-most’ Hamas,
which are trying to ignite violence in Jerusalem.
We will not allow this to happen. The State of Israel will continue
to provide for and safeguard the dignity of all of us, to enable
everyone to celebrate in Jerusalem, and ― most of all ― our forces will
continue to provide security for the citizens of the State of Israel.
