In turn, the Palestinian president warned of “the danger of the repeated Israeli attacks on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the violation of the sanctity of the holy month,” according to what was published by the Palestinian news agency “Wafa”.
Abbas added that this “is something that cannot be tolerated,” calling on the international community to “immediately intervene to stop the Israeli aggression and provide international protection for the Palestinian people.”
