PA official daily: Israel plans to “Judaize the Al-Aqsa Mosque” and “establish Temple on its ruins”

Headline: "The occupation has imposed destruction on the Al-Aqsa Mosque buildings through widespread night invasion operations"

"Occupation forces yesterday [April 11, 2017] sowed destruction in the Al-Aqsa Mosque buildings, and left behind extensive devastation after large numbers of occupation force members invaded [the buildings] two days ago late at night…
The [PA] Islamic-Christian Council for Jerusalem and the Holy Places said that the intentional operations of devastation and desecration that the occupation forces committed at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its buildings constitute Israeli insistence on harming the sanctity of the mosque and stirring up the emotions of all Muslims.
The council warned that the reckless settlers and extremists will continue the daily operations of invading the Al-Aqsa Mosque during the Hebrew Passover holiday. The council also viewed this as part of the occupation state's progress in its plot to Judaize the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in preparation for the realization of the Jewish dream of establishing the Temple on its ruins."

The PA and its leaders consider all of the Temple Mount an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore they view any presence of Jews on the mount as an “invasion.” It should be noted that Jews who visit the Temple Mount only enter some sections of the open areas, and do not enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock.
