In Italy, Al-Aqsa Mosque Imam Urges Destruction of Israel
(Times of Israel) Yifa Yaakov - Raed al-Danna, an imam from Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque, last week called for Israel's destruction while on a visit to Italy, urging Arab armies - including those of Egypt and Jordan, with whom Israel has signed peace agreements - to "liberate" the land. During an Islamic conference in Milan, al-Danna said Israel would soon "vanish," in comments filmed by Al-Jazeera and translated by media monitoring group MEMRI. "We will return to the sea of Jaffa, to the sands of Haifa, to the palm trees of Beit Shean, and to the hills of Lod and Ramla," al-Danna predicted. He said the clerics and worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque were awaiting "the legions of the conquerors" who would take over Israel.
