Palestinians warn against exploiting Jewish holidays at Al-Aqsa
The Jerusalem Governorate has warned of an escalation in the dangers associated with the Jewish holiday season during September and early October. Attempts by settlers and Israeli authorities to gradually change the identity of Al-Aqsa Mosque continue through ongoing incursions and Jewish religious rituals within the mosque, including the enforcement of communal prayers, rituals, and the blowing of the shofar. The number of deportation orders and incursions has risen, with more than 40,000 settlers having entered the mosque since the beginning of the year. The governorate emphasized that these measures aim to repeat and expand, potentially opening the door to altering the historical and legal status of the mosque. This is compounded by increasing Israeli statements calling for the permitting of more Jewish religious practices, especially during religious occasions coinciding with the holiday season. These developments heighten the risks of exploiting the area to impose a new religious reality and to entrench the gradual change of Al-Aqsa's identity. The governorate called on Palestinians to increase their presence and prayers in the mosque to confront these dangers, reaffirming that Al-Aqsa is an exclusively Islamic mosque and that Israeli policies have no right to alter its status or impose a new religious reality there.
