Tens of thousands of Jordanian citizens rallied on Friday in Suweima village in the Jordanian Valley, only 25 kilometers away from occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem), in support of the holy city.

Ibrahim Al-Keylani former Awqaf minister, delivering the Friday sermon at the village, said that the Jordanians were displaying solidarity with their Palestinian brothers.

He championed resistance as the only hope for the liberation of the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Quds, warning that the holy city was the target of a systematic Judaization campaign at the hands of the Israeli occupiers.

Participants torched Israeli flags and replicas of the alleged Jewish temple, which the Jews were seeking to build in place of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In Cairo, around 5000 Egyptians held a similar rally at the Azhar mosque to declare solidarity with Al-Quds and the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the international day for solidarity with occupied Al-Quds.

A statement delivered on behalf of the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayyeb, said that Al-Quds was a red line and that Muslims would never allow anyone to harm it.

Tayyeb asked Muslims worldwide to mobilize efforts and to confront the Israeli Judaization of Al-Quds.

Khalil Al-Hayya, a political bureau member of Hamas, told the rally that Arabs and Muslims should stand united to liberate Al-Quds, adding that the Israelis were planning to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
