Former Knesset Speaker Reveals 5 Secret Attempts to Blow Up Al-Aqsa Mosque

Avraham Burg, the former Speaker of the Israeli Knesset, revealed shocking details concerning at least five secret attempts carried out by extremist Jewish groups to blow up the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Burg explained that these attempts began since the occupation of Jerusalem in 1967, indicating that the primary goal was to remove Islamic landmarks to make way for the construction of the alleged Temple.

These statements came during a controversial interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, where Burg affirmed that he is not sure there aren't additional attempts that have not yet been revealed. He stressed that the issue is not only about the number of supporters of these ideas, but about the dedication and readiness of fanatical groups to carry out destructive operations on the ground.

For his part, journalist Tucker Carlson expressed his astonishment at this information, wondering if these attempts were actual conspiracies to blow up the holy sites, which Burg clearly confirmed. The interview received widespread interaction on social media platforms, especially in light of the current tensions in the occupied city of Jerusalem.

These revelations coincide with the continued complete closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque by the occupation authorities for about 25 days, citing the state of emergency declared after the recent military developments. Observers believe that this long closure represents a dangerous precedent aimed at isolating the mosque from its Palestinian surroundings and preventing prayer in it permanently.

In the context of systematic incitement, right-wing politician Moshe Feiglin expressed his satisfaction with the continued closure of what he calls 'Temple Mount,' considering that the absence of a violent reaction proves Israel's regional strength. These statements reflect a tendency among the far-right to exploit security circumstances to impose new realities in the Noble Sanctuary.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also joined the incitement campaign, publishing videos showing the occupation forces suppressing Palestinian worshipers in the streets of Jerusalem. Ben-Gvir praised the strictness of police commanders in dealing with Palestinians, emphasizing that 'firmness and strength' are the only way to ensure calm from his extremist point of view.

Incitement did not stop at political levels but extended to the right-wing media, where journalist Yinon Magal explicitly called for targeting Al-Aqsa Mosque with shelling. Magal published coordinates near the mosque after rocket fragments fell in the area, in a clear indication of his wish to destroy the Islamic prayer halls within the Old City.

In the framework of psychological warfare and deception, extremist rabbis circulated AI-generated images claiming the existence of secret military installations beneath Al-Aqsa Mosque. This type of content aims to desacralize the place and justify any future military or security aggressions that might target it under a security cover.

Jerusalemite activists confirmed that what Burg revealed reinforces fears of real plans being cooked up in the shadows of extremist Zionist circles. They pointed out that the current government, which is the most extreme in the history of the occupation, provides political and legal cover for these groups to implement their gradual aims in the mosque.

Experts in Jerusalem affairs warned that the parallel between the field closure and digital incitement paves the way for the implementation of provocative Talmudic rituals, such as the slaughter of the 'sacrifice.' These steps, if implemented, are considered a crossing of all red lines that could lead to an explosion of the situation in all Palestinian territories and the region.

Field sources reported that the occupation forces impose strict restrictions on the entry of Palestinians into the Old City and pursue anyone who tries to pray in the roads leading to Al-Aqsa. These measures come amid the absence of international and Islamic oversight over what is happening inside the mosque's walls during the long and continuous closure period.

Analysts believe that Burg's statements are not just a recollection of history, but a warning of a future planned by the Israeli right, which now controls the levers of the state. The groups that operated in secret in past decades now have parliamentary and ministerial representation that facilitates their access to their destructive goals.

Arab and Islamic condemnations of these policies continue, amid calls for the necessity of international intervention to protect the historical and legal status quo in Al-Aqsa Mosque. However, the occupation authorities continue to disregard these warnings, persisting in implementing a strategy of gradual erosion of the powers of the Islamic Endowments in the Sanctuary.

There have been at least five attempts to blow up Al-Aqsa Mosque, and I am not sure there haven't been more, as extremist groups have sought to remove it since 1967.
