Ekrima Sabri, khatib of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, said that the Palestinians intensified ribat in Al-Aqsa before the occupation and settlers’ attack on Al-Aqsa. 

Sabri warned of the seriousness of allowing the occupation to be exclusive, pass plans and persistent attempts of Judaization. The silence of the Arab and Islamic world encouraged the occupation and settlers to repeat their incursions into it, as well as to continue attempts to Judaize and to carry out religious rituals within the country.
