"Al-Quds International" calls for i'tikaf at Al-Aqsa and demands breaking the media blackout

The International Al-Quds Foundation calls for intensifying i'tikaf and travel to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and demands Arab and Islamic media launch a campaign to break the media blackout on the escalating incursions by extremist settler groups coinciding with the Jewish holiday season.

The International Al-Quds Foundation calls for intensifying i'tikaf and travel to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, amid the escalating movements of extremist settler groups and their incursions into the mosque coinciding with the Jewish holiday season and the accompanying incitement to perform Talmudic rituals within its courtyards. The foundation demands that Arab and Islamic media, journalists, and activists launch a broad media campaign to return Al-Aqsa Mosque to the forefront of attention and contribute to breaking the media blackout on the incursions and practices it is subjected to that aim to change its reality. These calls come at a time when extremist "Temple" groups are intensifying their incitement to storm the mosque and perform Jewish rituals there, including blowing the "shofar" horn. Jerusalem sources reported that 1,236 settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque during the past week under the protection of the occupation police. Hamas warned of escalating dangers targeting Al-Aqsa Mosque with the advent of the Jewish holiday season, and called for intensifying travel and i'tikaf at Al-Aqsa in parallel with an effective Arab, Islamic, and international movement to stop the occupation's attacks and protect the mosque from Judaization schemes.
