“Hamas”: Zionist move to strip Hebron Municipality of authority over Ibrahimi Mosque is dangerous

Hamas said on Thursday that the Zionist authorities’ decision to withdraw administrative powers over the Ibrahimi Mosque from the Hebron Municipality and transfer them to the so-called occupation “Civil Administration” is a dangerous Judaization step targeting the mosque , the Arab and Islamic identity of Hebron.

In a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), Hamas said the move extends ongoing efforts to impose control over land and holy sites in the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds, and constitutes a clear challenge to UNESCO decisions that list the Ibrahimi Mosque and Hebron’s Old City as World Heritage sites in danger.

Hamas called on the international community, the OIC, the Arab League, and UNESCO to act to stop these violations, stressing that the Ibrahimi Mosque is an Islamic site and that Hebron will remain a Palestinian Arab city.
