A large number of Palestinian women from the holy city and the 1948 occupied lands intend to march towards the Aqsa Mosque to counter Jewish female groups who declared their intent to desecrate the Mosque on Tuesday morning and on a regular basis.

Many Palestinian women are expected to flock into the Aqsa Mosque this morning to defend it in response to an urgent appeal made by noted religious and national Jerusalemite women.

This Palestinian female move came after a group of extremist Jewish women naming itself as women for the temple announced their intention to storm the Aqsa Mosque to perform Talmudic rituals and dances.

This Jewish group said it would defile the Aqsa Mosque twice every month under police protection and invited all religious Jewish women to participate in the break-ins they intend to organize.

In an earlier incident, two groups of Jewish settlers escorted by armed policemen profaned the Aqsa Mosque on Monday morning, while the Israeli occupation forces prevented Palestinian young men from entering the Mosque.

Meanwhile, Head of the international union for Muslim scholars Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradawi called for Arab popular moves to protect the Aqsa Mosque and confront the Jewish attempts to defile it.

In a press release issued on Monday by Al-Quds international foundation, Sheikh Qaradawi stressed that the Aqsa Mosque is a red line and the Muslims would not stand idly if the Jews repeated their attacks on the Mosque.

He urged the Palestinians in their occupied land and the Arab peoples in neighboring countries, Egypt, Jordan and Syria, to rise up in defense of the Aqsa Mosque and liberate it from the Jewish occupation.
