Al-Aqsa Mosque: the status quo and 'Israel's' broader agenda

Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, has become the target of continuous aggression by Israeli settlers, who are always protected by occupation forces as they attack Muslim worshippers. In one day, over 2,000 illegal settlers stormed the mosque, a symbol of resistance for millions of Muslims. This is part of a broader Israeli agenda that has persisted since 1967, aimed at changing the status quo of the mosque, tainting its sacred nature, and altering its religious significance. The ongoing attacks on al-Aqsa not only threaten its sanctity but also risk transforming the cultural and religious identity of the entire city. Protecting al-Aqsa is crucial to preserving the freedom of worship for Muslims worldwide, as international laws and UN resolutions continue to be ignored by the Israeli occupation.
