On the eve of the 39th anniversary of the arson attack on the Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Betawi said in a press interview that any PA or Arab agreement with the Israeli occupation giving it one inch of the Aqsa Mosque or its quarters is invalid because the entire Mosque belongs only to Muslims and Jews have no right to it.

The lawmaker underlined that the biggest crime the holy mosque is exposed to is that all Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are banned by the IOA from reaching Jerusalem to perform prayers.

The lawmaker called on the Palestinians of the 1948 occupied lands to perform their prayers in the Aqsa Mosque especially with the approach of the holy month of Ramadan to confirm that the Mosque is Islamic and will never be one day the alleged temple.
