The grand imam of Al-Aqsa Mosque has urged the Arab and Muslim nations to support the occupied al-Quds warning against what the Israeli prime minister described as ‘aggressive plan’ for the holy mosque.

Sheikh Ekrima Sabri said, in press remarks, that Israeli authorities have decided to bar dozens of young Palestinians from entering the Mosque during the upcoming month of Ramadan and to deny any facilitation for worshippers coming from the West Bank.
 
He warned that these measures are expected to significantly reduce the number of worshippers compared to previous years.
 
Sabri said the policies form part of broader efforts to Judaize Jerusalem, tighten control over the Mosque, and assert administrative authority over it, pointing in particular to intensified measures in Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa, and Sheikh Jarrah to the north.
 
He also warned that extremist settler groups have publicly called for expanded incursions into the Mosque’s compound and for conducting overt prayers inside its courtyards, including the use of ritual instruments and symbolic prostration practices. Sabri said such demands reflect deeper ambitions regarding the site.
 
The remarks by the Palestinian preacher comes amid escalation of raids by Israeli settlers targeting the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
 
He said recent expulsion orders barring al-Quds residents from Al-Aqsa aim to empty the Mosque of regular worshippers while facilitating settler incursions.
