The Israeli occupation has banned occupied al-Quds' Grand Mufti and preacher of the al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, from entering Palestine's holiest mosque for six months. 

Sheikh Sabri's defense attorney, lawyer Khaled Zabarqa, said the occupation's court issued the decision on Thursday, following his detention and release last Friday. 

Sheikh Sabri was arrested on August 2 after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) raided his home in the al-Sawana neighborhood in occupied al-Quds and was taken to the Israeli al-Moskobiya (Moscovia) detention center in the city.

Condemnations from the Palestinian Resistance flow

The Hamas Resistance movement strongly condemned the "arbitrary" decision to ban Sheikh Sabri from the al-Aqsa Mosque and considered it to be "revenge" for his national and Islamic role in challenging the Israeli occupation's attempts to Judaize al-Quds and the holy Mosque. 

It called on the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and Arab League to mobilize against the Judaization strategy and protect sacred Muslim and Christian sites, with the al-Aqsa Mosque being at the forefront. 

The Mujahideen movement also denounced the decision, saying it came as part of a series of attempts to Judaize al-Quds and wipe out its Arab and Muslim spirit. It further condemned the international community and Arab silence against the crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation.

It urged the people of Palestine to rise in the face of the Israeli systematic crimes.
