A former US congressional candidate believes that Israel’s ultimate objective in constructing new settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories is to destroy al-Aqsa Mosque.
I have believed for a long time that Israel wants this al-Aqsa Mosque simply not to exist,” Mark Dankof told Press TV on Friday.
“Basically I think this [settlement expansion] is part of a systematic plan to take all of Jerusalem and to replace … the al-Aqsa Mosque with a so-called rebuilt Jewish temple based on the model of the one that was destroyed in 1870,” he added.
