To the proponents of the philosophy and policy of closing and withdrawing pretexts

The conference held by the "Temple Mount Administration" organization last Wednesday, 15/7/2026, under the title "A Decade of Positive Transformation on the Temple Mount," and the caliber of political leaders who attended this conference, from Netanyahu to Energy Minister Eli Cohen, and Deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi, carried a clear political message that cannot be confronted by either closing or withdrawing pretexts. Change in the status of Al-Aqsa is coming, with the withdrawal of administrative powers from the Waqf over Al-Aqsa and the termination of Jordanian custodianship. There is a field change in the status of Al-Aqsa, known as silent dismantling, which is deeper and more dangerous in its implications for Al-Aqsa, as its religious, legal, historical, and international status is being dismantled by moving from conflict management to resolving this conflict using security and legal tools, thereby reshaping religious and symbolic sovereignty over it. And when Nissim Vaturi says that Muslims should be prevented from accessing Al-Aqsa unless Jews can access Al-Aqsa and perform their Talmudic and Torah rituals and prayers freely on the "Temple Mount," this tells those who want to understand and comprehend, and not continue to cover and bury their heads in the sand, that major changes are coming to the status of Al-Aqsa, as it is being rapidly transitioned from an Islamic era to a shared Islamic-Jewish era initially, leading to the establishment of what is known as the Third Temple in place of the Dome of the Rock Mosque. The recent developments in Al-Aqsa, where the occupation closed Al-Aqsa for its army to conduct military training inside Al-Aqsa, which are like "rehearsals" for what is to come, and also the occupation army and police removed worshipers from the Bab Al-Rahma prayer hall, photographed them, and recorded their ID numbers, to take security measures against them, ranging from expulsion from Al-Aqsa to investigation and perhaps arrest for some of them. Also, when the Waqf department is prevented from accessing four carefully distributed locations on the geography of Al-Aqsa: the Qubbat al-Ghazali above the roof of the Bab Al-Rahma prayer hall, Qubbat Musa in the southwestern area, Qubbat Sulayman in the northeastern area, Dar al-Hadith, and Dar Tahfiz al-Quran, whose locks were broken, and the Waqf department was prevented from placing new locks and left them open, this carries the political message conveyed by the threat of Deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi at the "Temple Mount Administration" organization's conference under the title "A Decade of Positive Transformation in the Status of the Temple," that Muslims will be prevented from accessing Al-Aqsa unless Jews can access the "Temple Mount" freely and perform their prayers and Talmudic and Torah rituals fully. Politics, O proponents of the policy of closing and withdrawing pretexts, is not read from headlines, but through the arrangement of messages, and politics is algebra, not arithmetic, and positions should not be based on emotions and emotional agitation and flowery phrases and resonant and bombastic speeches like "the House has a Lord to protect it," and no matter how much they change and alter Al-Aqsa, it will remain Islamic, for the lesson is in what is translated on the ground, not through what is issued in words and empty "nonsense," and these people translate their words into actions, and the policy of closing and withdrawing pretexts, which you cling to, falls from their calculations, given their knowledge of the weak and collapsed Arab and Islamic situation, and their firm belief in what their Prime Minister Golda Meir said in the late sixties, when an Australian-born Zionist named "Michael Dennis Rohan" set fire to Al-Aqsa, including the Minbar of Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi on 21/August/1969, that she cried all night over the fate of "her state" for fear that Arab and Islamic armies would march on it to avenge Al-Aqsa, and when dawn broke and nothing happened, she said, "Now we can do anything, without a reaction, for this nation is nothing more than a vocal phenomenon." So how now, with the miserable Arab and Islamic situation, and there are those who have not only coordinated with Israel, but there is an alliance and security and military cooperation with it by some Arabs, and there are those who call for turning Al-Aqsa into a place for the Abrahamic religion, where the adherents of the three religions practice their worship, and the American administration has expressed a position in this direction, to turn Al-Aqsa into a tourist and multi-religious center, where sovereignty would be for Israel, and the termination of the administrative authority of the Waqf over it and the cancellation of Jordanian custodianship, while granting powers with periodic Arab supervision, and that Israel would have the right to appoint imams, mosque preachers, and key employees, and to intervene in who will deliver the sermon and its quality. The upcoming developments regarding Al-Aqsa are significant and dangerous, in light of a right-wing and extremist government seeking to resolve sovereignty and control over Jerusalem, including Al-Aqsa, and there are calls from the Temple Mount groups to carry out widespread incursions into Al-Aqsa on the anniversary of what is known as the destruction of the Temple next Thursday, to support the idea and theory of Deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi, the right of Jews to practice their prayers and Talmudic and Torah rituals with complete freedom in Al-Aqsa. So, will the proponents of the policy of closing and withdrawing pretexts awaken from their political coma, or will they continue to practice the ostrich policy, burying their heads in the sand, and the House has a Lord to protect it?
