The video is of an interview of Al-Habbash on the Hebron radio station Al-Alam.
Supreme Shari’ah Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “The aggression against the Ibrahimi Mosque is old and new and ongoing, and we view it with utmost severity. We oppose any step that Israel carries out. We oppose any intervention by Israel, because Israel and the Jews have no right – not historically and not religiously – to any centimeter of this purely Islamic mosque.”
