OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC) The Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage (AFEH) warned that the Israeli occupation is racing with time to Judaize Umayyad palaces to the south of the Aqsa Mosque, as part of a plan to turn the surroundings of the Mosque into a biblical garden.

AFEH said in a statement on Thursday that  these acts are taking place amidst attempts to supress any Islamic historic character of the holy city which calls for immediate action to stop these Judaization projects and the continued onslaught against the Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem.

The organisation added that one of its teams made a field visit to the site over the past couple of days and saw that work is being carried out from early morning till late at night and that steel platforms have been set up to the south of the Mosque and behind the Marwani Mosque.

AFEH added that for those large numbers of workers and engineers to be working for such long hours could only mean that the Zionist occupation has decided to expedite the Judaization of the holy city.

The organisation also said that it has learnt that the area will be announce part of a biblical route that extends from Eisaweyyah to the north of Jerusaelm, through Jabal al-Masharef, to Wadi al-Jouz to Bab al-Rahma cemetery to the Umayyad palaces and the Buraq wall to the south western corner of the Aqsa Mosque to Wadi Helwa in Silwan and ending in the Bustan neighbourhood of Silwan.

Meanwhile, there were reports that the occupation municipality of Jerusalem has closed two weeks ago the area between Bab al-Amoud and Sulaiman’s cave, and has been doing fundamental changes to the features of the area including changing the Arabic names to Hebrew names.
