Jordanian political science professor Harith al-Halalmeh warned that accelerating developments in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa mosque could transcend localized security measures, Shehab Wire reported. The academic cautioned that altering facts on the ground and tampering with the mosque's status may trigger a political and regional crisis extending beyond the city.
Al-Halalmeh's remarks reflect growing concern among regional analysts over the trajectory of tensions in occupied Jerusalem and the contested holy site.
