Al-Aqsa Mosque is going through its worst days these times, preceded by the mosque's closure for more than forty days during the exchange of missiles between Iran and Israel, during and following Ramadan.

At dawn last Sunday, the head of the Israeli occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, stormed into the Buraq Wall plaza in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, accompanied by several of his government ministers and thousands of settlers, under heavy security protection, on the eve of what is called the Jewish "Yom Kippur." Incursions by official figures have become routine, and every couple of days we see ministers entering the Haram al Sharif compound.
Even the time sharing plan has become a reality, with Israelis storming Al-Aqsa on ordinary days twice daily, and each time Muslims are barred from praying or entering the compound.
The subjugation measures against Arabs and Muslims are escalating day by day, and we will reach a stage where the scenario of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron is replicated, meaning the division of the week's days between Israelis and Palestinians, instead of a few hours daily.
This is a plan already on the way, since Israel previously tested closing the mosque for forty days and nothing happened, tested the entry of ministers and lawmakers and no one stopped them, so why would they refrain from dividing days instead of hours at Al-Aqsa?
This step will be followed by another, namely the confiscation of the empty land within the Haram al Sharif compound. Everyone knows its area is 144 dunums, containing the Qibli Mosque, the Dome of the Rock, and old and new buildings, ruins, and structures. If this step is carried out, we will have entered the boundaries of the more dangerous step, namely shrinking the area of Al-Aqsa Mosque according to the Israeli plan, and establishing Israeli structures in the empty spaces. Israel may cover this with a government decision, or one from the Knesset, so that this step is completed before the end of 2027, a date Israel has set as the outer limit for changing the identity of the noble Haram al Sharif compound.
The two previous steps, namely dividing the week into days and seizing the empty spaces, are nothing but a prelude to changing administration and sovereignty over the Haram al Sharif compound in general, and transferring it entirely to Israel through political and legal cover that shifts sovereignty to Israel, meaning that all maintenance, restoration, administration, construction, demolition, and other works would be tied to the Israeli government. This is the most dangerous stage, one that would lead to structural changes within the Haram al Sharif compound, should Israel ultimately succeed in achieving it.
This does not rule out the possibility of scrambling the cards through the demolition of specifically the Dome of the Rock mosque, or even the Qibli Mosque, and attributing the act to an extremist Israeli organization carrying it out during the night hours, or to a stray missile that some Arab or Islamic party is blamed for, on the grounds that it was outside Israel's control even though it had been aimed at Israel but missed its path, pointing to some party to burden it with responsibility for something it did not in fact do, or planting explosives in the tunnels beneath Al-Aqsa Mosque to blow it up.
This is not merely an attempt to cover all bases regarding Al-Aqsa Mosque, but we are once again shining light on what happened at dawn on Sunday at Al-Aqsa Mosque, an unprecedented mobilization.
These are not mobilization operations without a religious political message directed at the Israeli domestic audience to consolidate right wing votes in the elections, but rather they signal an escalation of targeting operations, within the framework of a gradual plan.
We must open our eyes in advance, because Israel is waiting for the most suitable timing in Palestine and the region, waiting for the most dangerous moment of fragility to proceed with its plan to remove and demolish the most important Islamic religious symbol in Jerusalem, with all the political, religious, social, and security objectives that entails.
What happened at dawn on Sunday at Al-Aqsa was not merely a religious ritual. It was an announcement of a new phase.
