Against the backdrop of the war in Gaza and extreme tension throughout the Middle East, we meet Ekrima Sabri, one of the imams of the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. This Palestinian Muslim cleric is known for his militant sermons. In his last sermon, the imam of al-Aqsa paid tribute to Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian Hamas leader assassinated last month in Tehran. As a result, the Israeli authorities have banned him from going to the Mosques esplanade for the next six months.
