Israel shifts strategy at Al-Aqsa
The city of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque are experiencing an escalation in Israeli occupation authorities' decisions to ban Palestinians from the mosque, amid intensified settler incursions and their Jewish rituals during the Jewish holiday season. Since the beginning of the year, approximately 850 expulsion orders have been issued, many of which were implemented before and during Ramadan, with numbers increasing at the start of September. These decisions often involve prohibiting individuals from entering the mosque and the surrounding areas. These measures particularly target groups with a continuous presence, such as released prisoners, religious steadfast residents, imams, and academics, thereby reducing the Palestinian presence and diminishing their role in the mosque. As Jewish religious practices are repeatedly carried out in the eastern part of Al-Aqsa and converted into a recurring Jewish religious reality, there is growing concern that the occupation may attempt to impose new facts on the mosque during the Hebrew holiday season. This is alongside other policies including demolitions, arrests, restrictions on construction, and movement limitations, all of which exert pressure on the residents of Jerusalem and threaten the city's religious and historical identity.
