Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran has called on Muslims to use the Hajj rituals this year to take a united stance against Israeli regime's efforts to control the al-Aqsa Mosque.
Touching on Tel Aviv regime's provocative security measures in al-Aqsa Mosque, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei said on Sunday "The Zionists have become emboldened and rude, giving themselves the right to get tough with the owners of the al-Aqsa Mosque and prevent them".
"Where can the Islamic Ummah find a better venue than Hajj to comment on the al-Aqsa Mosque? Where is the place to take a position against the mischievous presence of America in the region? Hajj is the best venue," the Leader told a group of officials in charge of annual Hajj in Tehran.
Tensions are still high at Islam's third holiest site in al-Quds (Jerusalem) where Israeli regime deployed troops last week to restrict access to Palestinian worshipers but had to retreat amid fears that the standoff could turn to a large-scale revolt.
