Nearly 500 Israeli settlers have entered the Al Aqsa mosque during the Jewish New Year celebrations

Approximately 500 Israeli settlers entered the compoundof the Al Aqsa mosque this Sunday morning, the third most sacred place for Islam, on the second and last day of the Rosh Hashana (Jewish Year), the Jerusalem Governorate reported.

The organization, which is in the hands of the Palestinian National Authority, has explained that the attackers have crossed the so-called Moroccan Gate andarrived"escorted by the support of the Israeli armed forces", a practice that is constantly repeated, especially at such Jewish celebrations.

In fact, in the mosque enclosure, the First and Second Temples of the Jews (which was destroyed in the year 70 AD and has never been rebuilt) were believed to have been established, and the Zionists claim that it belongs to them.

The so-called "temple reconstruction organizations" have called on supporters to participate massively inthe offensive at the Al Aqsa mosque and to perform rituals within the compound. 

The Israeli authorities were informed and, as a security measure, have strengthened security measures around the mosque and the Old City in occupied East Jerusalem, making it difficult for local Palestinian residents to move and limiting the worship of Muslim worshippers.

The introduction was contrary to the current status quo.

According to the status quo, which has been in force since 1967 (when Israel occupied eastern Jerusalem), the compound is only forthe worship of Muslims, and Jews can only enter as visitors, since Jewish laws prohibit believers from praying where it is most sacred to them, which is permitted only to rabbis.

Therefore, the Jewish prayer should be held on the Wall of Purchase, which is on one side of the Esplanade, and is recommended by the Great Rabbi of Israel, though in recent years some rabbis aligned with the movement of religious Zionism have changed this recommendation to pray where the Second Temple was built.

For the Palestinians and also for Jordan, which has been guarding the place since 1967, this change is more political than religious, an attempt to Judaize and Israelize all of Jerusalem.

Most Arabcountries have condemned these policies once again, but there has been no progress, while Israeli government ministers, such as Itamar Ben Gvir, a settler and former member of National Security, often join these attacks in the Al Aqsa complex.
