UN Ban, Kerry slammed for efforts against intifada

Hamas representative in Lebanon Ali Baraka criticized UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon and US secretary of state John Kerry for their attempts to stop the current anti-occupation protests in Palestine.

Addressing the 24th congress of the union of Islamic organizations in Istanbul on Sunday, Baraka urged the leaders and peoples of the Islamic countries to provide the Palestinian intifada with political, economic, media and financial support.

He also called on them to urgently move to protect the Aqsa Mosque against Israel's Judaization and division plans, PIC reported.

The Hamas official affirmed that the Israeli government took advantage of the events and conflicts in the Islamic world to finish off the Palestinian cause and carry out its Judaization schemes in the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem').
