Askar stressesd that al-Aqsa mosque was not only beseiged by the IOF but also through the arab regimes passiveness. He emphasized that the Palestinian cause would not be solved through peaceful negotiations which proved unsuccessful during the past years, but through resistance and Jihad.

Nazzal explained that defending al-Aqsa is not limited to Arabs only, but is the responsibility of all Islamic countries to support and defend its sacredness, pointing out that the Palestinian cause is a religious cause not a national or political one.

In conclusion Lashin Abu Shanab called on every Muslim to take part in the liberation of al-Aqsa, no matter what it takes.
