The head of Tunisia’s Ennahda Movement, Sheikh Rashid Ghannouchi said the recent security developments in Jerusalem is a Third Intifada triggered by the Israeli prosecution of the Palestinian people and their rights, properties and religious sanctities.

During an interview with Quds Press yesterday, Ghannouchi said: “The Palestinian people are trying to raise their voice to the world and expose the brutal Israeli crimes against them.”

“The Palestinian uprising is a wake-up call for the nation’s youth and the world to save the Palestinians from the Israeli aggression,” he said.

Ghannouchi said the world should get out of its silence and people should move and pressure their governments especially because there is a historic opportunity to support the Palestinian uprising and the Palestinian right and liberate Jerusalem.

“Israel is suffocating because of its arrogant leadership, and therefore there is an opportunity to support the Palestinians, lift the Israeli siege imposed on Jerusalem and Gaza and provide the conditions to build a Palestinian state,” he said.
