A Jerusalem-based organization charged that Israeli occupation forces are accelerating the Judaization of Al-Aqsa Mosque and exploiting holiday periods to impose new conditions at the site, Shehab Wire reported. The group did not specify which holidays or what new measures were underway.
The accusation reflects ongoing Palestinian concerns about changes to access and administration of the holy site, which sits atop the Temple Mount—a location sacred to both Muslims and Jews and a consistent flashpoint in Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
