GAZA: The Palestinian Islamic Hamas movement said that organising an Israeli flag march in East Jerusalem on Tuesday will ignite a new round of tension.
Hamas spokesman in Gaza Abdulatif al-Qanou'a said in a statement that organising "the so-called flag march is just a detonator for the breaking out of a new battle in Palestine", reports Xinhua news agency. "The so-called flag march that is intended to be organised by the settlers on the streets of Jerusalem will lead to a new battle to defend the holy city and al-Aqsa Mosque," he said.
Ahmad al-Mudalal, a senior Islamic Jihad leader in Gaza, said that if the settlers' flag march enters the Islamic neighbourhood in Jerusalem on Tuesday, "it will lead to a state of rage and uprising in the entire Palestinian territories".(IANS)
