Closure of Al-Aqsa mosque for first time by IOF terrorists

[Ancient lion]

In March 2026, Israeli terrorists closed Al-Aqsa Mosque and heavily restricted access to Jerusalem’s Old City for the first time since 1967, citing security concerns related to the ongoing US‑Israeli war on Iran.

IOF terrorists prevented tens of thousands of Muslims from entering Islam’s third holiest site during Ramadan’s final ten nights, a period usually marked by overflowing courtyards and all‑night prayers.

Elderly Jerusalemites who have attended Taraweeh at Al-Aqsa for decades describe this Ramadan as one of the most painful of their lives, saying that praying outside its walls feels like having “something very precious” taken away.

Being turned back at checkpoints, searched, or assaulted simply for trying to reach the mosque has produced deep sadness, but also a sharpened sense of solidarity among Palestinians who now stand shoulder to shoulder in prayer in the surrounding streets.

Foreign ministers of several Arab and Muslim‑majority states have condemned the closure, calling it a flagrant violation of international law and of the historical and legal status quo that guarantees unrestricted access to places of worship.

Their statement reiterates that the entire Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is an exclusively Muslim place of worship and urges the international community to compel Israel, as the occupying power, to reopen the gates and lift access restrictions.

Across centuries, Al-Aqsa has symbolized a blessed land where prophets lived and preached. Muslims in every region keep Al-Aqsa alive in their sermons and supplications. It was also the first qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims, which means that, before turning towards the Kaaba, the earliest Muslim community oriented its daily worship toward Jerusalem.

Would it surprise anyone if Israel destroyed it?

Then of course, blame Iran or some other group they hate. Dumb Americans will believe it.

They should scrape that thing off of there.

NEVER happened, you Zionist liar and pro genocider.

However following the Six-Day War, the Israeli Chief Rabbinate reaffirmed a religious ban on Jews entering the Temple Mount to avoid treading on the holy ground of the Holy of Holies, which remains a strict prohibition for many observant Jews.

THANK YOU for proving you’re such a LIAR. Jordan PREVENTED the Israelis from visiting their Holy Sites

From 1948 to 1969 - Jerusalem and the entire West-bank was controlled by Jordan upon Zionists having killed and driven off a million Palestinians from their ancestral lands.

Therefore NO approved Jewish holy sites by Jordan, since Jews had been "rightfully" expelled by Jordan - only Muslim and Christian holy sites. Keep in mind those foreigners (European Zionist) are the illegal invaders - migrants to Palestine.

According to the 1994 Jordan-Israel peace treaty, both sides committed to ensuring freedom of access to sites of religious significance.!!! Therefore Israel is in breech of the above treaty.

Only Zionists believe that they can steal other peoples land - and then on-top claim access to sites that are still under control by Muslims.

Jews stole Samaria and Judea from Arabs?

Did the Zionists care about or observe this armistice? they factually broke it in 1967 - until today they refuse to accept the armistice border as being a permanent border. Like I stated, only Zionists are impertinent enough to rob other peoples land, drive them out, genocide them and then additionally demand access to Muslim controlled lands.

Did the Arabs care about “ peace?” Educate yourself and read what Nasser said about bragging to the World his goal was Israel’s destruction. You see nothing wrong about him closing the Straits of Tiran or the UN “ peacekeepers “ leaving, Israel did

Have to consider the source He still insists that Jordan did not forbid Jews from their Religious Sites

The Arabs strictly observed the armistice - it was the Zionist who thought that participating in the Suez-crisis would profit them.
As well as the Zionists launching a disastrous unwarranted attack on them in 1967. It must have been Zionist who invented this term "preemptive strike" in the Middle-East.

Tiran? Sinai? those weren't Arabs but Egyptians. - educate yourself. And the Straits of Tiran were sovereign Egyptian territory.

Before the Saudi-Egypt 2016 deal, Egypt claimed sovereignty (based on an 1906 Ottoman agreement) and utilized the islands to control the strait, a key factor in regional conflicts (1956, 1967). Again it was Zionist claiming other peoples land & waterways.

There were no Jewish religious sites owned by Jews - only religious sites owned by Jordan, and they granted free access to Christians and Muslims. So what's supposedly wrong from banning/forbidding somebody from a place, that doesn't belong to him???

Unlike:

According to the 1994 Jordan-Israel peace treaty, both sides committed to ensuring freedom of access to sites of religious significance.!!!

Glad you feel that way. That means Israel can ban all Mosques and Churches within the 67 Borders which were never respected , NYPD has the right to ban people not born in this Country or of a different religion from them coming into St Patrick’s Cathedral and the US Govt has the right to stop Construction of any Religious House of Worship if they weren’t born here

Boy oh boy - you really are a confused soul.

The STATE of Israel:

• Restrictions on Access to Holy Sites: Israeli authorities frequently restrict access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Muslim) and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Christian) during holidays or times of tension, citing security concerns. These restrictions have been condemned by several nations as violations of the status quo and international law.
• Proposed Legislation: A bill was proposed in the Knesset to ban missionary work, which, if passed, would have heavily impacted Christian proselytizing activities.
• Humanitarian Organization Restrictions: Israel has been accused of restricting or banning some Christian humanitarian aid organizations from operating in Gaza.
• Attacks and Vandalism: Church leaders in Jerusalem have reported an increase in harassment of clergy and vandalism of religious property by Jewish extremists

I wasn't aware that the NYPD is the owner of St.Patrick's Cathedral - you really seem to know a lot!

And YES - the US State and it's Federation states have the RIGHT to stop construction of a Religious House if deemed a national security risk. Independent if the owners/builders are born in the USA nor not.
E.g. a Mosque or Synagogue that is known to belong to a hate preaching religious group or a respective priest.

Bibi ordered his subordinate TACO, to even pass laws that make pro-Palestinian organizations to be deemed illegal.

Falsely Labeling pro Palestinian Activists as Pro-Jihadist: The TACO administration has labeled pro-Palestinian protesters "Hamas sympathizers" and "pro-jihadist," using these designations to initiate investigations and, in some cases, detention and deportation proceedings against students and activists.

You are using the term "owned" in a very peculiar way here. Religious sites are not private property and are not "owned".

According to the above mentioned peace treaty, the Temple Mount is under the sovereignty of Israel, including security control. Jordan is given a "special role". Here is the relevant text:

Article 9. Places of Historical and Religious Significance and Interfaith Relations

1. Each Party will provide freedom of access to places of religious and historical significance.
2. In this regard, in accordance with the Washington Declaration, Israel respects the present special role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Muslim Holy shrines in Jerusalem. When negotiations on the permanent status will take place, Israel will give high priority to the Jordanian historic role in these shrines.
3. The Parties will act together to promote interfaith relations among the three monotheistic religions, with the aim of working towards religious understanding, moral commitment, freedom of religious worship, and tolerance and peace.

There is nothing in this text which abrogates either Israel's or Jewish claim and right to sovereignty over the Temple Mount as a Jewish holy site. Quite the opposite. Jordan has committed to ensuring freedom of access for Jews to places of "religious and historical significance".
