Ramallah: Spokesman for Palestinian presidency Nabil Abu Rudeineh said today that the Israeli occupation's attacks on civilians are not self-defense, the prevention of worshipers from reaching the holy sites is not to maintain security, and the displacement and destruction of citizens' homes are nothing but aggression that cannot be tolerated.
In a statement reported by Palestinian news agency, Abu Rudeineh added that the international solidarity campaign in support of the Palestinian uprising in occupied Jerusalem, and rejecting the aggression on the Gaza Strip, is a clear evidence of the justice and strength of the cause of Palestine and its steadfast people.
He further stated that after 73 years, the Palestinian people still have the same determination and will, and the land of Palestine is a sacred land that will burn anyone who tries to attack or conspire against it.
