Arab leader: Muslims will rule Jerusalem sooner than you think
Head of the northern faction of the Islamic Movement Sheikh Raed Salah said Friday that "soon Jerusalem will be the capital of the new Muslim caliphate, and the caliph's seat will be there."
Salah addressed an audience of 50,000 attending the Islamic Movement's 11th annual rally in Umm al-Fahm. "Caliph" refers to a leader of the Muslim nation and in Arabic means the "heir" or "substitute" of the prophet Muhammad.
Salah noted that history tells of many occasions in which the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem was occupied by foreign conquerors, but the occupiers left after a short time, and thus will also be the fate of the Israeli occupation.
"The Israeli occupation will leave Jerusalem soon. It will happen sooner than is thought," Salah said at the rally, which was held under the slogan "Al-Aqsa endangered".
The former mufti of Jerusalem Ekrima Sabri and the archbishop of the Greek-Orthodox church who is considered close to the Palestinian Authority also spoke at the rally. Secretary General of the Arab League Amr Musa also sent his blessings to the assembly.
