Jerusalem – Fatah Calls For ‘Day Of Rage’

Jerusalem – Police were set to reopen the Temple Mount to visitors on Friday, despite calls from Fatah to hold a “day of rage” in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

In a leaflet issued in Ramallah, Fatah called on Palestinians to express their opposition to “Israeli assaults” on the Aksa Mosque.

Fatah also denounced the Israeli move as a “declaration of a religious war” on the Palestinians and all Arabs and Muslims. The leaflet urged Palestinians to defend the Aksa Mosque “regardless of the sacrifices and to prevent the occupation forces from carrying out their plans to Judaize Jerusalem and our holy symbols.”

Hamas and Islamic Jihad on Thursday called on Palestinians to step up their “resistance” against Israel following the assassination attempt on the life of Yehudah Glick and the temporary closure of the Temple Mount.

Hamas called for a “day of mobilization” on Friday in protest against the closure of the Temple Mount.

It also called on Palestinians to avenge the killing of Hejazi and other Palestinians killed by the IDF and police.

The movement called for demonstrations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip on Friday.
