A document that was published on Friday by the Ministry of Endowments in the Palestinian Authority and brought to light by the research departments of the "Jewish Voice" and the Regavim movement has revealed a series of instructions and messages intended for Friday sermons. These instructions include some harsh and inflammatory messages.

The document begins with a call to the Palestinian people, urging them to see the preservation of public and personal property as a religious and moral national duty. It states that despite the pain and tragedies they have endured, the Palestinian people should not raise a white flag until the occupation is removed and an independent Palestinian state is established, with Jerusalem as its capital.

From @RegavimEng, Palestinian Authority - not just Hamas - document calling on imams to incite violence against Jews - not just Israelis or “settlers” - in Friday’s sermons, using the Hadith "The Day of Judgement will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims… pic.twitter.com/ZCPk3LCcPA

Furthermore, the document includes sentences from Sharia law, among them an anti-Semitic hadith that incites violence against Jews. It reads, "The time will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stones and trees, and the stones or trees say, 'O Muslim, O servant of Allah, this is a Jew. Behind me, come and kill him.'"

In response to this document and the announcement that Prime Minister Netanyahu will not enact Israeli control of Gaza as a target for the war, with the possibility of control being handed over to the Palestinian Authority, the Regavim movement has expressed its concerns. They argue that this document serves as further proof that there is no fundamental difference between the goals of Hamas and those of the Palestinian Authority. Their primary concern is what they perceive as a shared goal - the harm and elimination of Jews from the region.

The Regavim movement asserts that it is the duty of the State of Israel to prevent the spread of incitement through sermons in mosques. They view this document as a declaration of war and emphasize the danger of equating the Palestinian Authority with Hamas. They argue that the explicit call for incitement in the document aligns with statements of support for violent attacks and financial support for the perpetrators and their families.

In addition to the concerns raised by the document, an indictment is expected to be filed against an Islamic teacher from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya for inciting terrorism and violence in his mosque. Following the inflammatory words spoken by the preacher, a violent disturbance occurred in the Issawiya neighborhood, involving the firing of fireworks and Molotov cocktails aimed at security forces.
