Hamas continues to escalate. She is calling on the Arab and Muslim world to mobilize this Friday. People should meet at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. She calls on Palestinians in the West Bank to confront Israeli soldiers.
After the terrorist attack on Israel and the subsequent air strikes by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, the Islamist Hamas has called for the mobilization of the Arab and Muslim world. Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, said Friday was the “Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood.” It’s about supporting the Palestinian people “in the face of the open war of the (Israeli) occupation.” The Temple Mount (Al-Haram al-Sharif) in Jerusalem with the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam.
Hamas also called on young Palestinians in the West Bank to confront Israeli soldiers. The Arabs in Israel should come to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and gather there.
Meanwhile, the European Union has invited the foreign ministers of Israel and the Palestinian Authority to an emergency meeting on the war in the Middle East. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell wrote on Tuesday in the short message service X, formerly Twitter, that he had invited Israeli chief diplomat Eli Cohen and Palestinian department head Rijad al-Maliki to the discussions. Those close to Borrell said that both had accepted the invitation. The emergency meeting will take place in the afternoon on the sidelines of an EU meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman.
Hundreds of terrorists crossed the border into Israel on Saturday in a surprise attack on behalf of Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip. In the subsequent attacks and a massacre among participants at a music festival, around 900 people were killed – men, women and children. According to the Israeli Ministry of Health, more than 2,600 people were injured.
Israel responded with airstrikes in the Gaza Strip that killed 788 people, including more than 140 children and 120 women, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. More than 4,100 people were injured in the air raids.
