At 87 years old, the occupation is subjecting Sheikh Ikrima Sabri to interrogation.
Lawyer's response to summons
Regarding the summons, his lawyer Khaled Zabarqa told Al Jazeera Net.
“Leaning on his cane between the two lawyers Khaled Zabarqa and Hamza Qutaina, the preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque and head of the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, left the interrogation section at the Israeli al-Maskubiya prison in the city of Jerusalem”
"This summons is objectionable, and there is no legal violation on the part of His Eminence the Sheikh, and what he said is the religious opinion on closing the mosques, objecting to the exploitation of regional circumstances and the war on Iran to pass schemes on Al-Aqsa."
