Erekat: Israel wants religious war over Palestine
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTop Palestine Liberation Organization official Saeb Erekat accuses Israel of trying to foment a religious war with its actions on the Temple Mount.
The Israeli government is “enthusiastically trying to turn the question of Palestine into a religious war,” Erekat says in a statement, according to Palestinian news agency Ma’an.
Erekat says he won’t let Israel allow the conflict to be seen through a religious lens and calls on the international community to “assume its responsibility to protect the Palestinian people and their holy sites, and to take concrete steps to end the Israeli occupation of Palestine.”
