Al-Aqsa, 'declaration of war' by Palestinian groups against Israel

A coalition of Gaza-based Palestinian resistance groups warns against Israeli regime attempts to "divide" time and space on the Mosque Square, al-Aqsa, in the occupied old city of al-Quds between Muslims and Jews, vilifying the potential step as a declaration of war. Palestinian resistance factions said in a joint statement on Thursday evening that the plan proposed by Amit Halevi, a Likud party lawmaker in Israel's Knesset (parliament), would further deteriorate the security situation in the West Bank and push it towards an explosion.

The groups also held the far-right Israeli administration led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fully responsible for the dire repercussions of implementing the controversial plan. They stressed that the entire Palestinian people and resistance groups will not tolerate such a flagrant act of aggression and will spare no effort to stop the plan.
