Salah: IOA plans to demolish 70% of Palestinian homes in O. Jerusalem

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Sheikh Ra'ed Salah, the leader of the Islamic Movement in 1948 occupied Palestine, has warned that the Israeli occupation authority was planning to demolish 70% of Palestinian homes in occupied Jerusalem.

He said in a report published on Wednesday by the Khalij newspaper that the IOA has set the date of 2020 as the final date for evacuating all Palestinians from the Old City of Jerusalem and then to get rid of all Palestinians from all areas of Jerusalem by the year 2050.

The Sheikh warned that the IOA these days was even accelerating the scheme to judaize Jerusalem, hoping to complete it by ten months rather than ten years.

He recalled that the IOA had built more than 100 synagogues surrounding the holy Aqsa Mosque, pointing out that one of the Zionist societies was ready to pay 2.2 million dollars for one square meter in some of the important areas in the holy city.

The Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu is notorious for his crazy, hysterical adventures and might harm the holy Aqsa Mosque for the sake of building the mythical temple on its ruins.

Meanwhile, Hamas MPs in Nablus issued a statement on Wednesday highlighting that Jerusalem would only be liberated from Israeli occupation with resistance.

In a statement on the 42nd anniversary of the occupation Jerusalem, the lawmakers warned of the escalating IOA judaization schemes, and called on the Arab and Muslim countries to assume their responsibilities toward Palestine in general and Jerusalem in particular.
