Beirut: Lebanon's Hezbollah group slammed Israel for allowing the construction of a Museum of Tolerance on the site of a Muslim cemetery in Occupied Jerusalem.
Hezbollah issues "its strongest condemnation for the desecration of a historic Islamic cemetery in occupied Jerusalem permitted by the (Israeli) enemy by allowing an American company to build a museum on the site," the group said in a statement said.
The Shiite group called for Arab, Muslim and international action to put an end to these "racist and inhumane" practices.
"They cannot transform the original identity of the sacred city from its original Palestinian identity," the statement added.
