The conference aimed to advocate for the defense of Al-Aqsa Mosque and occupied Jerusalem, countering the policies of Zionistic colonization and aggression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the event, a consensus was reached among the leaders and speakers on the pressing need to activate the role of the Muslim Ummah and its youth in supporting Al-Aqsa Mosque and the occupied city of Jerusalem. This collective effort was seen as a response to the policies of Judaization and Zionist aggression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The conference, held in Beirut, brought together scholars, national figures, factions, and a wide range of Lebanese individuals. It coincided with the 54th anniversary of the burning of Al-Aqsa Mosque.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In his address, Ali Abu Yasin, the head of the political office of the Islamic Group, highlighted that the enemy&#8217;s attempted incursions into Jenin were met with defeat, signaling the nearness of a desired outcome. He stressed the importance of establishing a youth movement to rally support for the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The young attendees were encouraged to excel in various fields as a means to surpass the enemy intellectually and creatively.

The youth were praised as guardians and supporters of Al-Aqsa Mosque.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yassin Hamoud, director-general of the Jerusalem International Foundation, pointed out that the Israeli government&#8217;s extremism has ignited resistance in the West Bank and Jerusalem, leading to an increase in operations. He outlined the Temple groups&#8217; strategies in Al-Aqsa: temporal division, spatial division, and the establishment of the temple.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Participants stressed the significance of discussing responses to Israeli extremists&#8217; actions during the Hebrew New Year, which include provocations and attempts to desecrate holy sites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Young Lebanese participants expressed their willingness to sacrifice for a noble cause and to live with dignity. The equal footing of the arenas was deemed essential in deterring the enemy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Malik Sarrouji, speaking on behalf of the Lebanese Al-Aqsa Support Committee, highlighted the team&#8217;s dedication to coordinate and develop channels of resilience for the Palestinian cause. Their aim is to engage young people and students in experiencing the Palestinian cause intellectually and culturally.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sarrouji announced their commitment to advance their nation through constructive and modern means, epitomizing devotion and sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The conference featured a dialogue session about the characteristics of the &#8220;Generation of Victory,&#8221; encompassing both religious and skills-based aspects, with Sheikh Ali Al-Youssef and Sheikh Samer Mazhar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Palestinian Media Center<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NULL<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":58645,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[414],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-our-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58174\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.cloud\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
