Kamal Al-Khatib, deputy head of the radical Islamic Movement in Israel headed by Raed Salah, said in a recent speech that Gaza “will rub Israel’s nose in the mud.” The comments were made in a speech in Kafr Kanna, an Arab town located in the Galilee. In April, Al-Khatib claimed that Israel is “land that has been occupied since 1948.” Speaking to the Hamas journal Falastin, Al-Khatib said that Israel is taking advantage of the troubles in surrounding Arab countries to “Judaize” Jerusalem. He accused Israel of acting towards a gradual implementation of sovereignty over Jerusalem, including shared the use of the Temple Mount among Jews and Muslims. In light of this „threat” against Jerusalem, he stressed that „the protection of the Al-Aqsa mosque is not solely a task for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, residents who have been occupied since 1948 (referring to the State of Israel) and the Palestinian people themselves. It is the task of the entire Muslim and Arab world.” Several months earlier, the same Al-Khatib warned of a possible internal conflict with „the Israeli occupation” and threatened a „huge eruption” if Israel intervened on the Temple Mount and continued, according to him, to bother the Muslims praying there.

A Kuwaiti cleric recently called on Hamas not to give up on its fight against Israel, and not agree to a ceasefire until Israel is erased. “We are in a conflict over our very existence with the sons of Zion,” he said, adding, “In geography as well as in history, the state of Israel is a deviant country. It is destined to be eradicated in its entirety.” Al-Suwaidan continued, “Gone are the days when we would demand a ceasefire. I find it strange that some people are demanding a ceasefire. Absolutely not. The shooting and the launching of rockets continue. If you should be suffering – they are suffering as you are suffering.” He went on to say that the rocket attacks on Israel have “paralyzed” it completely and that Israelis “all went trembling into their holes”.
