Indonesia witnesses thousands-strong demonstration against an Israeli project that poses danger to the al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied East Jerusalem (al-Quds).
The Saturday protests, attended by the supporters of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), a member of the ruling coalition, exploded onto the streets of the capital, Jakarta, Jakarta Post reported.
The demonstrators condemned the destructive move, which sees Israel digging a tunnel that will damage the foundation of the mosque.
“We will prove Indonesian people are ready to support any movement to protect al-Aqsa, the third-holiest mosque in the world,” chairman of the party's Jakarta chapter Tri Wisaksana told the audience.
Defying torrential rain, the demonstrators raised up banners emblazoned with “Save al-Aqsa Mosque from Zionist Israel” and “One man one dollar to save Palestine.”
They also called on Tel Aviv to immediately halt its illegal settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories and urged the central government and the Indonesian parliament to assist the Palestinians.
In similar protests last January, Indonesians had condemned Israel over its heavy land, aerial and naval bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
