In contrast, Palestinian worshipers face the occupation's measures that restrict their entry into the mosque and their movement in its surroundings, including preventing mourners from performing funeral prayers and imposing restrictions on the elderly and worshipers. The paradox is clearly evident when the occupation police provide protection for settlers during their incursions and rituals, while the access of Muslims to their mosque is subject to strict security measures. These practices reflect a deliberate and provocative interference with the freedom of worship and put the arrangements of Jerusalem to a direct test.
The seriousness of the situation increases with the participation of Israeli political figures in the incursions, and statements talking about imposing so-called "Israeli sovereignty" on the Al-Aqsa Mosque. However, the convergence of the Israeli political discourse with the practices carried out by the settlers under the protection of the occupation gives the incursions a clear political dimension, linking them to attempts to change the rules of dealing with Jerusalem and its holy sites and impose a new reality by force.
The figures of previous seasons confirm that the incursions are taking an escalating trend, as the Throne Festival week recorded the incursion of 5980 settlers during five days in 2024, and the number rose to 7119 settlers in 2025. With the continuation of the current festival season, the increase in the number of intruders and the expansion of rituals and attacks add new factors to a regional environment that is already suffering from accumulated political and security crises.
The repercussions of what is happening are linked to regional political security, especially since Jerusalem represents a highly sensitive point in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, while the Al-Aqsa Mosque is directly linked to the security and stability of the region, and any forced change in its reality can widen the circle of tension and open a new path for escalation at a time when the region needs to stabilize and contain crises.
Hence, the Jordanian warning to the international community about the consequences of the continuation of the occupation's incursions and attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque carries great political and security importance. It is necessary to protect the historical and legal status quo, ensure the freedom of access for Muslim worshipers, respect the powers of the Jerusalem Endowments, and stop the measures that allow the imposition of new rituals and facts inside the mosque.
The continuation of the Israeli occupation's attacks on Al-Aqsa carries direct risks to regional stability, because the accumulation of incursions, rituals, and procedures imposed by force can turn the mosque into a permanent focus of tension and push the repercussions of Jerusalem to the Palestinian, Arab, and Islamic arenas.
In conclusion, Al-Aqsa is living today a dangerous and critical phase, and in the face of this, the international community should bear its political and legal responsibilities to protect its historical and legal status and prevent the imposition of a new reality by force, especially since the continuation of the Israeli occupation's incursions and the imposition of rituals inside the mosque, in conjunction with restricting the access of Muslim worshipers, puts Jerusalem on a dangerous path that affects the foundations of stability in it. Protecting Al-Aqsa represents the protection of freedom of worship and the security of Jerusalem, as well as a regional necessity in light of the sensitivity of the stage through which the region is passing, which calls for putting an end to Israeli extremism and practices that fuel tension and threaten the existing situation in the holy sites. Any leniency with changing the reality of the mosque or the continuation of these practices will give escalation more space and push the region towards a new wave of tension that is difficult to contain its repercussions.
