Alwaght- The Israeli regime has confiscated funds belonging to the Al Aqsa Mosque Foundation in the 1948 occupied territories.
Arab Knesset member Talab Abu Arrar strongly denounced the move by the Israeli regime. He was quoted by Palestinian media as saying that Israel's seizure of Palestinian societies' funds and its violations against the inhabitants of Quds stem from its antagonism against Islam and Muslims and its intent to Judaize the al Aqsa Mosque.
He also pointed out to the Israeli regime’s support for racist Jewish groups and societies advocating the construction of the alleged temple mount on the ruins of the Aqsa Mosque.
The lawmaker demanded the Israeli regime’s internal security minister to release the funds of the Aqsa Foundation, which he said is licensed.
The remarks come as Israeli regime authorities are systematically acting to change al-Quds’ identity and character. Reports say the Israeli regime is planning to build a synagogue in Al-Aqsa Mosque compound as part of its efforts to further Judaize the occupied Palestinian territories.
The mosque is Islam’s third-holiest after Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina.
Over the past decades, the Tel Aviv regime has tried to change the demographic makeup of al-Quds by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites, and expelling the local Palestinian population.
