RAMALLAH, Wednesday, April 5, 2023 (WAFA) - Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas, said tonight that the Israeli occupation is insisting on continuing its onslaught on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and creating an atmosphere of escalation, instability and tension.

Commenting on the brutal Israeli police raid on the holy site on Wednesday night, he said, "By storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacking worshipers, Israel is dealing a blow to the recent US efforts to create an atmosphere of calm and stability during the blessed month of Ramadan."

Abu Rudeineh stressed that the fresh Israeli attack on Muslim worshippers tonight in Al-Aqsa Mosque comes as a continuation of the brutal Israeli attacks on worshippers that took place yesterday, which confirms that the extreme right-wing Israeli government wants to drag the region into further deterioration and instability.
