Around 200 far-right Israeli nationalists entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday, raising the Israeli flag and singing the national anthem under police protection, according to the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf. The group also performed Talmud-based prayers and took photographs near the Dome of the Rock, actions the Waqf described as provocative and in violation of established regulations governing the holy site.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest sites, operates under a long-standing status quo recognizing it as an exclusively Muslim place of worship administered by the Islamic Waqf under Jordanian supervision. Critics have long accused Israel of undermining this arrangement by facilitating frequent incursions by nationalist groups who conduct prayers and flag displays within the compound.
Omar Rajoub, media director of the Jerusalem Governorate, said the flag-raising and religious acts were part of a deliberate Israeli policy to alter the site’s historical and legal standing. He claimed the actions aimed to impose new realities in East Jerusalem and erase its Islamic and historical identity, calling them clear violations of international law.
