Zionist minister violates sacred precinct of Al-Aqsa

[TriWooOx]

Quote:Palestinians say Zionist regime Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a 'provocative' move.

According to a statement issued by the Al-Aqsa Foundation for Heritage on Tuesday, Aharonovitch's visit shows that the Zionist institutions are targeting Al-Aqsa once again, and it asked, "Is this incursion a provocation only or is there something else behind the visit?"

A visit by former Zionist prime minister Ariel Sharon in 2000 sparked the second Palestinian uprising, the Al-Aqsa Intifada.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, is located in the compound in the Old City of al-Quds (Jerusalem) .

Aharonovitch, a member of the ultra-right-wing Israel Beitenu Party, accompanied by Zionist police officials and a large number of guards, had a quick tour of the compound on Tuesday.

Palestinians view the Beitenu Party as a racist political group.
