Al Khalil - Palestinian Chief Judge Sheikh Tayssir Tamimi hailed the initiatives undertaken by HM king Mohammed VI to preserve the Arab and Islamic identity of Al Quds and support the city's inhabitants.
At the opening of the Al Quds support Week, Sheikh Tamimi recalled the actions made by Bayt Mal Al Quds, upon the instructions of the Sovereign, in favour of Al Quds populations.
He called upon the Arab and Islamic Umma to pressure Israel's allies into halting Israeli offensives against Palestinian historical and civilizational sites and populations.
