‘Al-Aqsa Mosque is in danger is now a reality' | MEE Analysis

Ziad Ibhais, a researcher on Jerusalem affairs, says the Israeli occupation is increasingly using the holy month of Ramadan to accelerate the spatial and temporal division of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Speaking to Middle East Eye, Ibhais says that Israel has shifted its approach during the ongoing war, viewing Ramadan as a "season for testing the machinery of liquidation." He warns that the ultimate goal of the Zionist right is the complete erasure of the site's Islamic identity to pave the way for an exclusively Jewish Temple. Ibhais outlines several systematic tactics used to alter the holy site's reality, including extending the hours for settler incursions and aggressively marginalising the Islamic Waqf's administration. Furthermore, he points to growing police leniency towards extremist groups attempting to perform sacrifices within the compound, an act he describes as treating the site "as though it has become the Temple as a fait accompli." Ibhais says that Israel is intentionally redefining the international legal concept of the "status quo" to legitimise more than 30 incremental violations made since 1967. While international law dictates preserving the mosque's pre-conflict Islamic administration, he argues Israel frames the status quo as a fluid arrangement that changes with every new restriction. He concludes that these gradual stages of Judaisation pose an imminent, existential threat to Al-Aqsa, warning that attempts to liquidate the holy site will ultimately lay the foundations for a broader war.
