Ammon News - In a judicial precedent for the first time since the occupation of the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque, the intrusive Israeli settlers in October were allowed to perform "silent prayers."
The so-called Israeli Magistrate's Court in Jerusalem had earlier ruled on the right of Jews to perform a "silent" prayer inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque, considering that "this prayer cannot be interpreted as a criminal act."
The risk of allowing Jews to "silent prayer" in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa lies in legitimizing the prayer of Jews by a legally protected decision, which is an advanced step to impose the occupation’s dominance on Al-Aqsa Mosque, in implementation of the temporal and spatial division in its courtyards, stressing that the decision is aggressive towards Al-Aqsa and all Muslims in the world, the Palestinian Awqaf Ministry said in its monthly report, published on Monday.
The report indicated that the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque happened 22 times in October, and dozens of extremist calls from the so-called Temple groups to implement the decision, storming in large numbers, and calling on the so-called "Mountain Temple Religious School" to intensify incursions, and modify its programs to include prayers and rituals instead of mere intrusion.
The ministry said that the Israeli occupation is continuing its hostile policies towards the people of Jerusalem, whether living or dead, and has escalated its war on the Yusufiya cemetery by bulldozing and exhuming graves, surrounding them with fences and cameras, burying its floor with dirt, and arresting everyone who stands in the way of their vehicles.
The ministry also tracked more than five attacks on the cemetery this year, while documenting more than one arrest and deportation from the Al-Aqsa Mosque, including the deportation of Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher Sheikh Ikrima Sabri for a week, subject to renewal.
In an attempt to close the space of the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to simulate its Islamic domes, the Israeli occupation authorities began restoring a synagogue located 250 meters to the west of the mosque, after decades of its establishment on Islamic land in the "Haret (neighborhood) Al-Sharaf" in Old Jerusalem.
