Al-Aqsa mosque is a holy place to Muslims, not Jews, yet the Israelis constantly prevent Palestinian worshippers from entering it.
For those who have kept up with Palestine - Israel for a while, you'd know what Israel does to Palestinian worshippers every Ramadan.
Ramadan is next month and whenever this time of the year rolls around, Israel:
- Prevents worshippers from entering Al-Aqsa.
- Attacks worshippers inside or outside the mosque.
- Sends Israeli forces to prevent Palestinians from entering the mosque.
This usually happens during the night as Muslims perform an extra nightly prayer during Ramadan.
They have done this year after year, and it always results in many people being injured, and in some cases, dying.
Now, just before Ramadan, Israel wants to ban worshippers from Al-Aqsa mosque.
This is no coincidence as it happens every year, but given the extent of Israeli aggression in Gaza (which is starting to extend a lot towards Lebanon), I would not be surprized if the violence Israel inflicts upon Palestinian worshippers increases severely this Ramadan.
Also, when people like Javier Milei get the Israelis riled up about a 'Third Temple', it's not exactly helpful to the situation.
It's important that people keep an eye on Israel's actions during Ramadan this year, and more precisely there decisions in regards to Al-Aqsa.
If Israel oversteps their boundaries more than they already do, Al-Aqsa could be the trigger that causes a severe escalation in tensions in the Middle East.
