Israeli religious activities in East Jerusalem

Overview

Tensions have escalated in East Jerusalem following increased Israeli religious activities and presence at holy sites. In late August, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound accompanied by police, rabbis, and settlers to perform Talmudic rituals and advocate for a Jewish temple at the site. This action drew condemnation from Hamas and Jordan, who characterized the visit as a violation of the historical status quo.

By late September, the situation intensified as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and several ministers visited the Burak Wall under heavy security. During this period, thousands of Israelis participated in ‘Selihot’ rituals, while hundreds of settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound through the Maghariba Gate. Hamas described these developments as a ‘dangerous escalation,’ and Palestinian authorities called for residents to gather at the mosque to protect its sanctity.
