The Israeli government will fund settlers' incursions into Al-Aqsa for the first time

Israeli media revealed that the Israeli occupation government will, for the first time, finance settlers’ incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.


She explained that the Israeli government will finance these incursions through the so-called "Ministry of Heritage", as it will allocate two million shekels (about 545 thousand dollars) for the project from the budget of its extremist minister, "Amichai Eliyahu".


She pointed out that the plan includes conducting "guided" Judaization tours for settlers in the coming weeks.


Ben Gvir continues to incite against Al-Aqsa


The extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, stated yesterday, Monday, that he wants to build a synagogue in Al-Aqsa Mosque.


Ben Gvir added to the occupation army radio: "If I could do what I want, I would also build a synagogue on the Temple Mount," and my policy is that Jews can pray in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.


He continued: "The policy (the government) allows prayer on the Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa Mosque). There is equal law between Jews and Muslims. I would have built a synagogue there."


These statements by Ben Gvir are the first in which he has spoken about establishing a synagogue inside Al-Aqsa Mosque, after he called many times in recent months to allow Jews to pray in Al-Aqsa.


Ben Gvir's statements coincided with more settlers performing Talmudic rituals during their raids on Al-Aqsa, under the protection of the occupation police.


Ben Gvir's repeated incursions and statements about allowing Jews to pray at Al-Aqsa sparked condemnatory reactions in the Arab and Islamic worlds and the international community.


Since taking office in December 2022, Ben-Gvir has repeatedly stormed Al-Aqsa, despite Islamic, Arab and international criticism.
