Authorities prolong ban on Sheikh Akram Sabri at Al-Aqsa
The Israeli occupation authorities have renewed their decision to ban Sheikh Ikrema Sabri, the preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the head of the Islamic Supreme Council in Jerusalem, from the mosque for an additional six months. This decision is part of a systematic policy aimed at emptying the Haram al-Sharif of its religious symbols and its defenders, amid escalating settler incursions. Sheikh Sabri confirmed that this extension represents a continuation of the security restrictions he has faced for years and aims to silence influential voices defending the identity of the mosque. These measures include more than a thousand expulsion orders issued since the beginning of the year, along with an increase in daily invasions led by occupation officials, accompanied by provocative practices and Talmudic rituals inside the mosque under the protection of occupation forces. These actions attempt to impose a new reality and temporal and spatial divisions within Al-Aqsa. Palestinian and international institutions call for intervention to stop the occupation’s violations, which threaten Jerusalem’s legal and historical status. Meanwhile, the occupation authorities continue to use deportation orders as a political tool to intimidate Jerusalem’s defenders, especially youth and women. Despite these pressures and repeated arrests, Sheikh Ikrema remains a symbol of steadfastness.
