failure of Israel\u2019s attempts to impose fait accompli in Jerusalem\n                    <\/p>\n<p>Amman, July 23 (Petra) \u2013 The Lower House Palestine Committee<br \/>commended the unanimous adoption by the World Heritage Committee of<br \/>the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization<br \/>(UNESCO) of a resolution to keep the Old City of Jerusalem and its<br \/>walls on the List of World Heritage in Danger.<\/p>\n<p>Passed during UNESCO\u2019s 48th session, the committee said the step<br \/>represents \u201crenewed\u201d international condemnation of the Israeli<br \/>occupation\u2019s policy, aimed at Judaizing the holy city and scrapping<br \/>its Arab and Islamic identity.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement issued Thursday, the committee noted the move shows<br \/>all Israeli attempts to impose a fait accompli by force will fail to<br \/>grant Israel any legitimacy, adding that Jerusalem will remain an<br \/>occupied Arab and Islamic city, regardless of the extent of the<br \/>policies of repression, falsification, and settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The committee urged the Muslim countries, the international<br \/>community, the United Nations, and UNESCO to take \u201cpractical and<br \/>deterrent\u201d measures to compel Israel to cease its escalating<br \/>violations, work towards implementing Jerusalem-related international<br \/>resolutions and counter attempts to steal history and impose a<br \/>demographic and geographic reality.<\/p>\n<p>On a related front, the committee condemned the Israeli authorities\u2019<br \/>step to allow thousands of extremists to storm the courtyards of the<br \/>Al-Aqsa Mosque to perform Talmudic rituals, raise the occupation<br \/>flags, and erect tents inside the mosque.<\/p>\n<p>The MPs considered these practices a blatant act of aggression and a<br \/>provocation of the feelings of more than two billion Muslims<br \/>worldwide, and a dangerous escalation aimed at imposing a temporal<br \/>and spatial division of the Al-Aqsa Mosque under the pretexts and<br \/>myths of the \u201calleged temple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Al-Aqsa Mosque, with its entire area of \u200b\u200b144 dunams, is the<br \/>exclusive Islamic right of Muslims alone, and the occupation has no<br \/>sovereignty or legal or historical right over this holy site, the MPs<br \/>pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>The committee noted any attempt to alter the existing historical and<br \/>legal status quo constitutes a flagrant violation of international<br \/>law and an unacceptable aggression against Islamic holy sites, which<br \/>will fail to change the reality of Jerusalem and its established<br \/>identity.<\/p>\n<p>The committee also stated Jerusalemites\u2019 \u201csteadfastness and<br \/>resilience\u201d will remain the invincible barrier against Judaization<br \/>and displacement projects, adding that the occupation\u2019s schemes will<br \/>fail despite its escalation policies.<\/p>\n<p>The committee said Israeli escalation will fail to alter identity of<br \/>Jerusalem or \u201cerase Al-Aqsa Mosque from the conscience of the Arab<br \/>and Islamic nation and the holy city will remain a symbol of truth,<br \/>history, and dignity.\u201d<br \/>\/\/Petra\/\/ AG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"House committee affirms failure of Israel\u2019s
