Hamas Issues Ultimatum To Obama
From the
Washington Times:
Designated terrorist group Hamas has warned President Obama against visiting the holy Temple Mount site in Jerusalem when he visits Israel next month, saying the action would be "a diplomatic catastrophe."
Mr. Obama hasn't confirmed a visit to the Temple Mount. But Muslim leaders have heard rumors and have issued a blunt statement nonetheless, The Times of Israel reports.
Hamas said a visit by Mr. Obama to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is located just on the southern side of the Mount, would be "an imminent danger which the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem have never faced," according to The Times of Israel. Hamas — which has been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. State Department since 1997 — also called any visit by Mr. Obama to the site of "the Zionist occupation" an act of danger.
Ekrima Sabri, who heads the High Islamic Council in Jerusalem, said his group "insist[s] on Muslim sovereignty over the Temple Mount," according to The Times of Israel report.
Will Obama take heed of this warning?
