The newly appointed United States ambassador to "Israel" stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque along with Israeli settlers on Saturday, Press TV reported.

Mike Huckabee, the newly appointed US ambassador to the Israeli occupation entity, joined Israeli settlers in a provocative incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed rituals at the Al-Buraq Wall just one day after assuming his post.

Huckabee, a radical Christian Zionist, placed a handwritten note into the cracks of the Al-Buraq Wall and told reporters that “President Trump wrote this himself last Thursday and sent me here to place it,” adding that he placed the note "with the President's best wishes."

The ambassador strongly aligns with the Zionist narrative asserting that the occupied Palestinian territories are the rightful land of the Jewish people until the very end.

In 2008, while campaigning for the presidency in Massachusetts, he made highly inflammatory remarks that sparked widespread backlash, claiming “there is really no such thing as a Palestinian” and dismissing Palestinian identity as “a political tool to try and force land away from Israel."

His visit coincided with the Jewish holiday of Passover, a period marked by repeated incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Israeli settlers under the protection of Israeli forces who restrict access to Muslim worshippers.

On April 15, more than 700 Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque under heavy protection from the Israeli occupation forces on the third day of Passover, while thousands of Israeli settlers gathered at the Western Wall plaza adjacent to Al-Aqsa Mosque, holding prayers for the "Priestly Blessing" ritual until the very end.

Similarly, dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds on April 13, with the incursions continuing until 3 pm.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, the large-scale Israeli settler incursions will continue until next Thursday, coinciding with the Jewish Passover, during which settlers are threatening to perform what they refer to as "animal sacrifices" inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex.
