Jewish Holiday Efforts at Al-Aqsa

The Jewish holiday season has seen an escalation in incursions into and religious rituals within the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as settlers use this period to intensify efforts to establish a religious presence inside the mosque and transform it into a Jewish-oriented site. These practices include the introduction of ritual objects such as horns and the deliberate bringing in of items related to the Torah. The incidents increase in frequency throughout the nearly 20-day holiday period, which comprises four consecutive holidays. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir conducted an incursion into the mosque and performed Jewish prayers inside it, an act considered an attempt to solidify Jewish religious practices within the sacred precinct in order to change its Islamic character. These actions are part of a broader strategy to alter the management of the mosque and impose new realities, while minimizing media documentation and transparency about what occurs inside. This reflects an attempt by the occupation to prepare for future steps related to the construction of the so-called "Third Temple."
