(Translated)

As is the case every year, the usurper Jewish entity rages again in the month of Ramadan this year. On the morning of Friday,15/4/2022 its soldiers broke the windows of Al-Aqsa Mosque and desecrated the carpets of the Blessed Mosque with their boots. Muslims who performed the Fajr prayer were beaten up and forced out of the mosque without regard to being women or children, young or old. Many of them were injured and arrested.

However, there is no doubt that these attacks were not the first carried out by the usurping Jewish entity during the month of Ramadan. In Ramadan last year, it also carried out similar attacks, 24 of our brothers were martyred and 500 wounded. The usurping Jewish entity is used to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque every year during the month of Ramadan, throwing bombs at worshipers, and causing the martyrdom of our brothers and shed their blood. While the Al-Aqsa Mosque is being desecrated with the shoes of the soldiers of the usurping Jewish entity, and while the pure blood of our brothers is shed in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa, the Muslim rulers are competing for normalization with the Jews, strengthening their relations, building up of trade with them, consolidating friendship with them, and shaking their bloodstained hands.

We in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Turkey, have gone out to the squares in 21 Turkish cities since Thursday of last week to show that we will not surrender to normalization, and in order to support Al-Quds, and we chanted: "We curse the Jewish entity and unite our supplication." We also held press interviews and supplication events in Adana, Adiyaman, Ankara, Antalya, Bursa, Diyarbakir, Ergani, Erzurum, Gaziantep, Hatay, Istanbul, Arnavutkoy, Kahramanmaras, Konya, Mersin, Sirte, Şanlıurfa, Severek, Tatvan, Van and Yalova. We shouted: " Hands to Heaven, Armies to Al-Aqsa." We reminded the Muslims of their responsibilities, to warn the rulers, and call the Ummah's armies to purify the blessed land of Al-Aqsa from the abomination of the Jews.

On Friday, 22/4/2022, we made a press statement in front of the consulate of the usurping entity in Istanbul, and addressed Muslims who feel responsible for Al-Aqsa Mosque, who are concerned about the problems of the people of Palestine, and whose eyes are shedding tears because of their suffering, and we said: “O Muslims! O sons of the best nation brought to humankind! When the head of a state calls for the United Nations to solve the Palestinian problem, when he convenes the Council of the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and when he denounces meaninglessly, he does not seek to find a solution to the Palestine issue. There is no hope from him!" We stressed that it is not possible to liberate Al-Quds and Palestine by condemnation, or by summoning the United Nations, or by asking help from America, or by mobilizing the international community. We also said that the despicable rulers, who only care about protecting their thrones, cannot liberate Al-Quds in this way.

As for last night, which we hoped would be Laylat al-Qadr, Allah willing, we performed qunoot in 12 mosques, asking Allah (swt) for help and support: O Allah, bear witness that we are innocent of the rulers who consider the usurping entity of the Jews a friend and they normalise relations with it. O Allah, bear witness that this is what we declared, O Allah. O Allah bear witness. O Allah, we complain to you, so treat them with your knowledge, O Allah. O Allah, grant us your help and support, O Allah. O Allah, grant victory to Islam and the Muslims. O Allah, honour us by establishing the rightly-guided Khilafah (Caliphate) state that will liberate Al-Aqsa Mosque from captivity and slavery.

We also extend our thanks to all our Muslim brothers and sisters who participated in our press interviews and supplication events and cursed the Jewish entity, and we say to them, may Allah be pleased with you.
