Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation police issued a decision to prevent the preacher of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque for a period of 6 months.

Lawyer Khaled Zabarqa, a member of Sheikh Akram Sabri’s defense team, said that there is no legal justification for issuing a decision to prevent Sheikh Akram Sabri from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Zabarqa confirmed that the occupation did not bring any charges against Sheikh Akram Sabri after the investigation that was conducted with him a few days ago.

Zabarqa stressed that the occupation's decision is an administrative decision, not a judicial one, as it came as a result of the incitement of extremist Jewish groups against Sheikh Akram Sabri.

The deportation decision came after Sheikh Sabri was arrested on August 2, released hours later, and banned from entering Al-Aqsa for six days.

The occupation forces arrested Sheikh Sabri on Friday, under the pretext of praying during Friday prayers for the head of the political bureau of Hamas, the martyr Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated by the Israeli occupation army in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

In recent years, Sheikh Akram Sabri has been subjected to a campaign of incitement and persecution, the latest of which was the Israeli Interior Minister’s request to cancel Sheikh Sabri’s residency in the city of Jerusalem and withdraw his Jerusalemite (blue) identity card.

Sheikh Akram Sabri has been the preacher and imam of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque since 1973. He is the head of the Supreme Islamic Authority and the founder and head of the Council of Scholars and Preachers in Palestine. He is known for his national positions.
