The statement affirms the necessity of defending and liberating Al-Quds , by calling all people of free conscience to contribute in this respect, beside all individual and institutions.
It also condemns the ethnic cleansing, and the continued hectic practices to change the demographic, geographical, and political identity of the holy city, while deploring the continuation of the occupation authorities to build the Apartheid Wall, which aims at transforming the Palestinian lands into cantons isolated from each others.
