Jerusalem Attacks Persist Post 57 Years
The Jerusalem Governorate has confirmed that the targeting of Al-Aqsa Mosque has been ongoing since its burning in 1969. The fire marked a turning point in the policy of targeting the city and its holy sites, with attempts to impose new facts on the ground increasing through repeated incursions and reduced access for worshippers, as well as efforts to change the historical and legal status of the mosque. The governorate denies any legitimacy to attempts at partitioning the mosque or introducing religious materials into its courtyards, considering such actions a violation of international law. It emphasizes that the mosque, covering its entire area of 144 dunams, is a place of worship for Muslims and forms part of East Jerusalem, the occupied capital of Palestine. The link between targeting Al-Aqsa and the goal of changing Jerusalem's identity and displacing its Palestinian residents is clear. The governorate calls on the international community to take political and legal measures to protect the holy sites, especially in light of escalating assaults, including settler incursions and threats to divide the mosque.
