Hamas spokesman 'Abd al-Talif al-Qa'una stated in an interview with the Suah network that "the permission given to Jews to enter the Temple Mount on Thursday is the spark that will lead to a new confrontation with the occupation."

According to him, "the Palestinian people will not allow the occupation to "re-erupt" Al-Aqsa.
