Last night, Thursday, Argentine President Javier Milli concluded his visit to Israel with settlers participating in dances described as provocative inside the Buraq Wall square in Al-Aqsa Mosque, as the occupation prevented worshipers from entering its squares to commemorate the Night Journey and Miraj.

Milley appeared in a video with the "Jewish hood" (kippah) on his head while dancing with a group of settlers who gathered to perform provocative Talmudic dances inside the Buraq Wall square after they roamed the alleys of the Old City of Jerusalem and the doors of the Al-Aqsa Mosque chanting racist slogans under the protection of the occupation forces.

Milley had announced the transfer of his country's embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem immediately after his arrival in Israel. He also appeared crying in front of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and visited the families of detainees in the Gaza Strip, in addition to his visit to the Nir Oz settlement on the Gaza Strip.

Milley expressed his support for Israel, saying that his tour of the settlement was "very touching."

Preventing the revival of the Isra and Mi’raj

The Israeli occupation forces and police stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem last night to prevent worshipers from secluding themselves and praying on the occasion of the anniversary of the Night of the Night of Isra and Miraj.

Al Jazeera's correspondent said that hundreds of settlers roamed the neighborhoods of Jerusalem, chanting Talmudic slogans against the Arabs and residents of Jerusalem.

He added that the occupation police fired tear gas bombs towards crowds of Palestinian youth in the Ras al-Amoud area, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque, to prevent them from secluding themselves in the mosque.

For its part, the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) reported that the occupation forces arrested 10 Jerusalemites, including 6 girls, including 4 minors, during activities commemorating the Isra and Mi’raj in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Wafa added that the arrival of worshipers continued yesterday, Thursday, despite the restrictions imposed by the occupation authorities by erecting military barriers, conducting thorough inspections, and preventing many of them from reaching Al-Aqsa.
