Fakhri Abu Diyab, a trustee of Al-Aqsa Mosque's board, warned of "a dangerous and accelerating Israeli escalation targeting Palestinian presence in occupied Jerusalem," Shehab Wire reported. He cited expanding house demolition operations and family displacement as part of the campaign.
Abu Diyab's warning comes as demolition and displacement activities intensify in the occupied city, according to the Jerusalem-based Islamic body he represents.
