The US is fully responsible for the consequences of Israeli settler raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islamic Jihad said yesterday.
“The Palestinian people have offered thousands of martyrs, wounded persons and prisoners for the sake of Al-Aqsa Mosque and they are ready to offer more to defend it,” the senior Islamic Jihad member Khader Habib said.“We will not remain silent regarding the Israeli aggression on Al-Aqsa Mosque,” he added.

He called for all the Arab and Islamic leaders to bear their responsibility to defend Al-Aqsa Mosque, stressing that they should cut their ties with the occupation state.
Israeli plans to Judaise Al-Aqsa Mosque, he said, would not be accepted “whatever the price was”, stressing that Al-Aqsa Mosque would remain a “purely” Islamic and Arabic site.
