Jerusalem Governorate warns of ritual escalation near Al-Aqsa
The Jerusalem Governorate warns of the escalating collective and Israeli movements near Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially at the Bab al-Rahmah (Mercy Gate). There have been repeated calls to conduct Jewish prayers and religious rituals, such as the Slihwwat prayers, aimed at establishing a religious presence at the eastern wall of the mosque. The recurrence of these activities, coupled with participants entering the vicinity of the cemetery and performing group rituals, is considered an attempt to alter the historical and legal status of the site. It threatens to impose permanent religious facts on the area. This occurs amidst intensive incursions by settlers protected by occupation forces, including performing religious rituals in the eastern part of Al-Aqsa, in an effort to consolidate Israeli influence at the expense of the mosque’s historic Islamic identity. Warnings are also increasing about the dangers of temporary activities transforming into permanent practices, which could threaten the very identity of Al-Aqsa.
