May 8, 2021 by Arhama Altaf

More than 200 Palestinians and around twenty Israeli police officers have sustained injuries due to violent clashes at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, where Israeli police stormed and forcefully dispersed worshippers away in occupied East Jerusalem.

Israeli police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades towards Palestinians at Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa Mosque on Friday as weeks-long stresses between Israel and the Palestinians over Jerusalem intensified again.

According to police, many injured have been taken to the hospital.

Calls for calm emitted in from the United States and the United Nations while the European Union and Jordan express deep concerns over this matter.

“Extremely Concerned About The Violence In Jerusalem”: US

The US State Department said, “It is extremely concerned about the violence in Jerusalem and called on Israeli and Palestinian officials to act decisively to deescalate tensions.”

Ned Price, the department’s spokesman, shared the statement in his social media account.

“There is no excuse for violence, but such bloodshed is especially disturbing now, coming as it does on the last days of Ramadan. This includes Friday’s attack on Israeli soldiers and reciprocal ‘price tag’ attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, which we condemn in no uncertain terms,” it added.

“We call on Israel to immediately call off all forced evictions”: UN

The United Nations (UN) has prompted Israel to call off any forced ejections in Jerusalem, warning that its actions could raise to “war crimes”.

“We call on Israel to immediately call off all forced evictions,” UN rights office spokesman Rupert Colville told.

“We wish to emphasise that East Jerusalem remains part of the occupied Palestinian territory, in which international humanitarian law applies,” Colville said.

“The occupying power… cannot confiscate private property in occupied territory,” he said, adding that transferring civilian populations into the occupied territory was illegal under international law and “may amount to war crimes.”

“Will always stand by the just cause of the people of #Palestine,” Cavusoglu added.

Shahid Afridi has 5 daughters with whom he spends quality time. However, being a father, he has some future plans for his girls.

As much as he loves his daughters, he has clearly said that he won’t allow his daughter to play any outdoor sports. Afridi said he can’t allow his daughters due to religious and social reasons.

In an interview, Boom Boom Afridi had talked about his controversial statement.

The host asked “You have said you will not allow your daughters to participate in sports after which you had to face lots of criticism. Do you think girls should not participate in sports?”

On which he replied, “They should play, why not? I think I play all my indoor games with my daughters.”

The host asked again, “What would you say if your daughters grow up and tell you they want to be a cricketer like their father?”

Shahid Afridi had replied, “If she wanted to be a cricketer she would have started training from the beginning age of 10-11 years of age. Your mind can’t change like that when you are 19 or 20. I believe it’s my job as a parent to tell them what is the right thing to do. I think there are other better things than being a cricketer in their life which they want to do.”
