Al-Quds Al-Dawliya: Occupation Moves to Decide Fate of Al-Aqsa
The International Jerusalem Foundation warns that Al-Aqsa Mosque is passing through its most dangerous phase since the Israeli occupation. The occupation’s measures to impose new realities that affect the administration and identity of the mosque are increasing, posing a threat to its religious and historical status. These targeted actions include reducing the role of the Waqf Department, disallowing or barring more than 67 staff members from access, closing the mosque for 40 days, and imposing changes on the timings of raids and religious rituals. The foundation considers that the occupation is approaching a stage of direct management over Al-Aqsa, where security control is transforming into full administrative authority. This is occurring alongside an escalation of US political involvement regarding the "Temple Mount" concept, while pressures on the Jordanian role continue despite Arab and Islamic positions supporting Jordan’s guardianship. The report calls for strengthening popular action and concerted Arab and Islamic efforts to protect Al-Aqsa. It also emphasizes the necessity of restoring the administrative role of the Jordanian Waqf, and developing Palestinian alternatives to confront any complete disruption of their role, before these new realities are solidified into permanent measures that become difficult to reverse in the future.
