What is required is to stop the incursions into Al-Aqsa, not just suspend them, and respect freedom and the right to worship
Everyone knows, and the Israelis know too, that the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is not just a place of worship and holiness for the Palestinians only, but for millions of Muslims all over the world, from east to west and from north to south. The incursions of the extremist Jews into its squares and courtyards, and the establishment of Talmudic rites in them, constitute a provocation to all these millions and anger from the depths.
Some of these extremists used to enter the Temple Mount, and all Jews saw how angry the reactions were to these practices. The Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu, realized this and felt the broad reactions these incursions evoke, and for this reason he decided to “suspend” the incursions from yesterday until the end of the day. blessed month of Ramadan.
This short-sighted and short-term decision will never be a solution nor a way out of the crisis and tension, because these ten days will soon end and the extremists will return to their assaults and raids. blessed month of Ramadan.
These attacks often involve senior officials and ministers, which means that the government, in one way or another, is part of these incursions, and the Netanyahu government should not put barriers in front of worshipers or prevent their entry except at specific ages within the limits of fifty years, and it should not prevent Palestinians within the Green Line to participate in the establishment of religious duties.
On another subject, but consistent with this occupation mentality, they prevented a number of Christians from the Gaza Strip from reaching Jerusalem to participate in the Easter celebrations, and a number of them had permits, but the occupation authorities canceled these permits and insisted on preventing them from entering Jerusalem and praying in Alqiama charch.
These practices constitute a flagrant violation of all religious rights recognized by international laws, and the world must realize this, object to it, and hold the occupation accountable for it!!.
