Hamas: Israeli plan to build synagogue under Aqsa serious violation

Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on Wednesday affirmed that the Israeli government’s plan to build a synagogue under al-Aqsa Mosque constitutes a serious violation of the Palestinians’ full right in Jerusalem and the holy site.

Hamas’s spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said in a press statement that establishing the synagogue is a new Israeli crime against the Palestinian people and holy sites that requires escalating the Jerusalem Intifada.

The Israeli government has recently inaugurated a new synagogue inside the tunnels adjacent to al-Aqsa Mosque.
