Sheikh Esmat Hamouri was indicted for calling directly for acts of terror during a speech to prayer goers on the Temple Mount.

Two weeks ago some 200 young Palestinians gathered near the Dome of the Rock, some with green flags and calling “Allah Akbar.”

The sheikh spoke for about 10 minutes, during which the crowd chanted praise for Muhamad Def, head of Hamas’ military wing.

“We tell our brothers in Gaza and Palestine and everywhere the words of Allah – do not trust those who grasped hell, and whoever wants to free the al-Aqsa mosque will not succeed without weapons and power and the unity of Muslim countries,” Hamouri was quoted in the indictment as saying.

“There is no alternative but to unify the Islamic countries and determinedly free al-Aqsa mosque. This is not impossible for Allah. The good began at al-Aqsa and the goodwill return to al-Aqsa,” he said.

The State Attorney’s Office requested that Hamouri will be detained until the end of his legal proceedings.
