Palestinians Accuse Gulf Arabs of "Desecrating" Al-Aqsa Mosque
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Palestinians from the ruling Fatah faction have accused visitors to the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem from the UAE of "desecrating" the holy site. Shadi Mtour, a Fatah leader from eastern Jerusalem, accused the Gulf delegation of nine men and one woman of "storming al-Aqsa Mosque," a phrase regularly used by Palestinians to describe tours by Jews to the Temple Mount. Palestinians on social media called for replacing the carpets where the visitors prayed.
