Hamas said Benjamin Netanyahu's entry into tunnels and excavations beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall constituted a flagrant assault on the mosque's identity and an affront to Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim sentiments, Shehab Wire reported. The movement noted that Netanyahu faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court.
The group objected to statements made during the visit, which it characterized as provocative.
