The Israeli authorities have been actively pursuing schemes to divide Al-Aqsa Mosque, both temporally and spatially, as part of their broader agenda to exert complete control over the holy site.
Experts from Jerusalem confirm that the Israeli occupation’s efforts to impose a temporal and spatial division of the Al-Aqsa Mosque are merely steps towards complete control over the mosque, with the ultimate goal of demolishing it and establishing the alleged Temple.
Activist and Jerusalem researcher Amjad Shahab emphasizes that extremist Temple groups aim to transform the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque into the largest Jewish religious center.
Shahab explains that the plan to divide Al-Aqsa does not solely aim to divide it, but rather to gradually seize control of it.
He points out that the obstacle to implementing the plan is the fear of local, Arab, and international reactions.
Shahab also highlights that Temple groups have begun occupying sensitive positions within the Israeli government, posing a significant threat to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Steadfastness of Jerusalemites
Jerusalem activist Nasser Qaws stresses that the steadfastness and resilience of the people of Jerusalem in the holy city serve as a safety valve to prevent the occupation from achieving its plans and moving forward with them.
Qaws explains that the Israeli occupation is attempting to alter the features of the holy city, which is an old-new policy that has not succeeded thus far due to the resistance and steadfastness of the people of Jerusalem.
He points out that the Zionist occupation is isolating the holy city by surrounding it with illegal settlements.
Palestinians are keen to confront the proposed law presented by Israeli Knesset member from the Likud Party, Amit Halevi, regarding the division of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The plan proposes settler control over the central and northern areas of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, particularly the Dome of the Rock area, while allowing Muslims to continue praying in the Qibla Mosque and its surroundings in the southern area.
On the political front, Halevi’s plan aims to remove the “Jordanian guardianship” over the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has been established in previous years, especially after political agreements with the Israeli occupation.
Palestinians continue calls to mobilize at Al-Aqsa Mosque to fail the Israeli Judaization plans.
Long History of Injustice
Today, on June 17th, Palestinians commemorate the 93rd anniversary of the execution of three Palestinian activists by the British Mandate authorities.
The three martyrs were Mohammed Jamjom, Fouad Hijazi, and Ata Al-Zeer.
Their story began after the British police arrested a group of Palestinian youth following the outbreak of the Al-Buraq Revolution.
The revolution began on August 14, 1929, when Jewish protesters organized a massive demonstration to commemorate what they referred to as the “destruction of the Solomon’s Temple.”
The following day, they held another large demonstration in the streets of Jerusalem, eventually reaching the Western Wall, where they chanted the Zionist national anthem while insulting Muslims.
Amidst those events, the British police arrested Mohammed Jamjom, Fouad Hijazi, and Ata Al-Zeer.
They were prominent figures in the fight for independence.
They courageously stood against British colonization and advocated for the liberation of their people.
After a brief and swift trial, the British colonization sentenced them to death on June 17, 1930.
The execution of Al Buraq’s revolutionaries by Britain 93 years ago remains a significant event in history.
Their execution served as a stark reminder of the oppressive tactics employed by the colonial power to suppress dissent and maintain control.
The martyrs’ sacrifice and unwavering dedication to the cause continue to inspire generations, symbolizing the resilience and determination of those who strive for freedom and justice.
