AMMAN — The
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine, Sheikh
Mohammed Hussein, has raised concerns over the recent decision by Israeli
authorities to prohibit the "Reconstruction Committee," affiliated
with Jordan, from carrying out their work in the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Sheikh Hussein
emphasized the potential repercussions and issued a warning that any committee
employee attempting to work in the mosque could face arrest.

In a statement released on Monday, the
Palestinian Mufti asserted that the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a sacred site exclusively for Muslims, and
interference from any other party in its affairs is deemed unacceptable.
The Mufti drew attention to the Israeli authorities' alleged
objective of assuming control over the
Al-Aqsa Mosque, reminiscent of their
previous desecration of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. He denounced the Israeli
authorities' action as an aggression aimed at interfering with the mosque's
administration and encroaching upon its main entrances, ultimately leading to
the implementation of
hostile plans to divide and exert control over
significant portions of the blessed sanctuary.
A call to Arab and Muslim leaders
Sheikh Hussein urgently called upon Arab and Muslim leaders,
as well as their respective populations, parties, and organizations, to be
alert to the imminent danger confronting the Al-Aqsa Mosque. He implored them
to take immediate and decisive action to halt these violations.
Subject to arrest
Furthermore, sources within Jerusalem revealed that the
Israeli occupation forces have notified the Reconstruction Committee's director
that any employee found engaged in their assigned tasks within the mosque would
be subject to arrest.
Despite the urgent need for reconstruction and restoration
of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Israeli occupation forces have imposed stringent
limitations on these efforts. Ongoing excavations beneath and in the vicinity
of the mosque have resulted in the dislodging of stones and water leakage,
severely impacting the structural integrity of the sacred site and its
corridors.
This recent development has ignited concerns among
Palestinians and the global Muslim community, who regard the Al-Aqsa Mosque as
one of the holiest sites in Islam. The obstruction of the Reconstruction
Committee's work and the potential further encroachment upon the mosque by
Israeli authorities have amplified calls for immediate international
intervention to safeguard the sanctity and integrity of this revered place of
worship.
