Ma’ay’a emphasized the importance of this historic event, which emphasizes the Palestinian identity of Hebron and the Ibrahimi Mosque (i.e., Cave of the Patriarchs), and the fact that through their heritage and history they belong to the Palestinian people, and thus refutes the Israeli claims that have openly demanded to annex the Ibrahimi Mosque to the Jewish heritage, in addition to defending the Ibrahimi Mosque and its surroundings from the Israeli attacks and Judaization.”
