Hamas has expressed concern over an Israeli conspiracy to empty Jerusalem al-Quds of its Palestinian residents after the inauguration of a synagogue in the Old City near the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Hamas deputy chief Moussa Abu Marzuk told Press TV that the Tel Aviv regime is determined to replace Palestinian mosques and churches with Jewish sites in East Jerusalem al-Quds.
He said Israeli police deployed thousands of forces to the city in a bid to force Palestinians into leaving it.
His remarks came amid international concerns over the regime’s moves which threaten Christian and Muslim sites.
