Jerusalem affairs specialist Fakhri Abu Diab warned of escalating activities by so-called "temple groups" in Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, according to Shehab Wire. Abu Diab said developments in the eastern section of the mosque, particularly around Mercy Gate, represent a transition from planning stages to imposing a new reality on the ground.
The expert stressed that activities in the area have moved beyond mere rituals, signaling intensified efforts by these groups to change conditions at the holy site.
