The Palestinians will continue to take all legal measures available in response to the Israeli government’s practices, especially the “storming” of the al-Aqsa Mosque compound (Temple Mount), Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday. He also criticized the US administration, accusing it of “standing behind” the Israeli government’s policies.
Abbas, who was speaking during a meeting of the PLO Executive Committee members in Ramallah, said in response to this week’s visit to the Temple Mount by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir: “I reaffirm that this storming is the beginning of the implementation of the policy of the [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu government. We categorically reject his policy, but we have also heard many rejections from different countries. In addition, we heard rejection [of the policy] from inside Israel.”
