Palestinians say they will adhere to all sorts of resistance methods to liberate their land.

Because of settlement activity and eviction, several hundred Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem al-Quds are at risk of displacement.

Particularly affected are the Old City and Silwan, and 500 people in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

The conference called on Muslims around the world to support the Palestinians in Jerusalem al-Quds.

The occupied city of Jerusalem Al-Quds is dear to all Muslims around the world.
