The Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) on Friday applauded the Turkish court decision to reopen the Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) Mosque in Istanbul for Muslim worship.
“This step is a decision that the Muslims around the world are proud of,” head of Hamas’s foreign media affairs Ra’fat Murra stated in a press release.
“Unfortunately, there is a state of wailing and sadness in the midst of some Arab official circles after the Turkish authorities declared Ayasofya a mosque,” Murra said.
“We have never seen such people cry over the holy Aqsa Mosque, which is being exposed to violations by the israeli occupation,” he underscored.
“We have not heard a voice when the occupation prevented the call to prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque and other mosques of occupied Palestine,” the Hamas official added.
