Israeli occupation forces are pushing ahead with seizure of the inner courtyard of the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil.
Israeli regime pushes ahead with control over Ibrahimi Mosque
The mosque director, Mutaz Abu Sneineh, has described the controversial move as a dangerous escalation that aims to alter the historical and legal status of the holy site.
 
Abu Sneineh stated in press remarks that occupation authorities have also taken control of the mosque’s electricity and water systems, an explicit violation of international agreements that protect religious and heritage sites.
 
Meanwhile, acting Mayor of al-Khalil, Asmaa Al-Sharbaty, emphasized that the Israeli decision poses a direct threat to the Ibrahimi Mosque, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in danger.
 
Abu Sneineh had previously warned that the occupation was shifting from a policy of time-and-space division of the mosque to full control, through gradual steps and comprehensive Judaization plans.
 
He pointed to a sharp increase in violations at the site over the past two years, calling it part of a broader political project aimed at excluding Muslims from the mosque, altering its architectural and demographic identity, and ultimately imposing a new reality that includes the creation of an interior plaza and undermining the authority of the municipality and religious endowments.
