Sheikh Khatib slams Obama’s planned visit to occupied Qods

Sheikh Kamal Al-Khatib, the deputy head of the Islamic Movement in the 1948 occupied lands, said the intended visit of US president Barack Obama to occupied Qods is aimed at strengthening and supporting the Zionist presence in the holy city.

In a press statement to Quds Press, Sheikh Khatib stressed that Obama’s visit is much graver than the marathon that took place on Friday in occupied Qods.

He explained that Obama plans to enter the Aqsa Mosque through Al-Maghariba Gate under the Israeli police protection without any coordination with the Islamic waqf authority, which is in charge of the Mosque, in order to support the Jews’ temple allegations.

The Israeli regime exploits many western leaders and lackeys who still offer absolution prayers to the Israeli entity in order to atone for the “so-called massacres of Jews”, the Palestinian religious figure underlined.

He expressed his belief that all the Israeli attempts to Judaize Jerusalem would be doomed to failure, noting that the Israeli occupation entity, like the other entities that had invaded Palestine throughout history, would be gone forever sooner or later.

Sheikh Khatib also denounced the Israeli marathon in the holy city and described it as part of the Judaization schemes against Jerusalem.
