In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful 

The holy Aqsa Intifadha
Appeal to support the Aqsa
Angry demonstrations, popular confrontations and commercial strike

In retaliation to the Jews’ attempt to lay down the foundation stone of their alleged temple in the Aqsa Mosque tomorrow Monday and in retaliation to the notorious Sharm Al-Sheikh summit that target aborting the holy Aqsa Intifadha, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, appeals to our Mujahid people to intensify their presence tomorrow in the Aqsa Mosque’s yards. We urged them to resist the attempts to lay down the foundation stone of the alleged temple and defend the Aqsa with souls and blood.

We particularly appeal to our people in Palestinian lands occupied in 1948 to mobilize the biggest possible number of people to foil the enemy’s conspiracies and to defend our religion and sanctities.

We also request our people to launch a commercial strike and to take to the streets tomorrow Monday in massive angry demonstrations and popular confrontations with the enemy soldiers and herds of settlers in each and every city, village and refugee camp to declare our people’s condemnation and rejection of Palestinian Authority chairman’s participation in the Sharm Al-Sheikh summit and to resist the attempts to judaize the Aqsa and build the alleged temple.
