OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– Protesters rallied after Friday prayers at the Aqsa Mosque condemning record concessions on the holy site made by negotiators in the Palestinian Authority.

Al-Jazeera began leaking last weak some of 1,600 claimed documents revealing that Palestinian negotiators made unprecedented concessions on almost all of Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque. The so-called Palestine Papers also revealed close security coordination between the PA and Israel.

“The Aqsa Mosque is the property of the Muslims,” Aqsa preacher Ikrima Sabri said while delivering the sermon ahead of prayers. “We will not accept non-Islamic control of Al-Aqsa.”

He criticized the failure of Arab governments and businessmen to save Jerusalem from the Israeli occupation.

“Why don’t they think about supporting Jerusalem foundations, especially after the Arab summit held in Libya about a year ago? Have they tried to save Jerusalem from Judaization? Has anyone of them thought about stopping the Israeli occupation of this country which Allah has blessed?”

Sabri previously ruled that accepting thoughts of trading land with the Israelis is forbidden.
