He notes that Israel "has taken its final measures against Al-Aqsa Mosque, even though it understands that it is a procedure that the Palestinians will protest because it violates the rights of worship and touches the religious places of the Palestinians."
Abbas' announcement is "a step commensurate with Palestinian blood and anger and makes the Palestinian leadership in a position to do and accept what the Palestinian people want."
Muhannad Abdelhamid, a writer and a political analyst, said that the U.S. will exert efforts to resume the peace process, considering that the peace process does not exist but it is already realistic.
"In fact, there is no peace process because Israel completely canceled this item on its agenda, but is trying to impose the surrender clause on the Palestinian people and confirm its ideological claims after the intensification of settlements and the continued looting of the Palestinian territories," he said.
Abdelhamid stressed the need to put the file of the continuation of the occupation of Israel on the table as a chronic problem and aims to loot the rest of the land of the Palestinian people, provided that this is coupled with serious Arab and international pressure.
"What is going on now is the essence of encroachment on the Islamic and religious heritage that is part of the heritage of humanity. Israel is trying to deal with this heritage as a Jewish heritage with a fanatic concept of stabilizing the Jewish narrative around Al-Aqsa Mosque," he added.
