Following the Palestinian Authority's siege of the mosque, Hizb ut Tahrir members in Jenin teemed the door with the public appreciating their stance and the PA responded with arrests.

According to a member of the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Palestine, Dr. Musab Abu Arqub, members of Hizb ut Tahrir had gathered at the door of small mosque after prayers at noon on Saturday, 24 Jumada II 1434 AH corresponding to 04 May 2013 following the siege of the PA's security forces and trying to prevent worshipers from leaving in an effort to prevent Hizb's rally against the Arab peace initiative which the Hizb previously announced through a press release and the media office's website.

Abu Arqub said that Hizb members left the mosque after the end of rally were met with applause from the crowd out of respect for them and their staunch positions that refused to succumb to the suppression of the PA seeking to impose political and intellectual tutelage on the people of Palestine.

The PA's security forces arrested an unspecified number of the Hizb's members including Honorable Abdul Rahman Zyoud (Abu Musab), preceding the rally was the arrest of Sheikh Walid Abu Khaled from his workplace.

One of the Hizb's members addressed the crowd stressing that the rulers were relying on the president in surrendering Palestine, and the Arab initiative is the completion to their surrendering of the blessed land and their protection of the Jewish entity's security.
