The Europeans for Jerusalem Foundation has praised the “honourable victory achieved by Jerusalemites, represented by the Israeli occupation’s surrender to the demand of opening the doors to Al-Aqsa and removing all forms of searching and inspection.”

In a statement issued today, the foundation said Jerusalemites were victorious in the battle as a result of their awareness, strong will and genuine national affiliation that broke the will of the Israeli occupation.

It also called for the continued support of Jerusalemites’ steadfastness, despite being subject to systematic crackdowns, house demolitions and expulsions aiming to Judaise the city. This is happening given the lack of official Arab and Muslim positions, as well as the international community overlooking Israel’s actions as an occupying force.
