Concern for conflict on Temple Mount when extremists win ground

The movie clip is short, but its content has caused three states to submit official protests. The AI-generated clip shows how the al-Aqsa mosque is consumed by flaming flames and replaced by a golden temple. It has been spread in social media after first being laid out by an extremist group that calls itself the « Templeberg activists ».

Dramatic background music is played at the same time as a message is shown: « Next year in Jerusalem … Messias Now », a slogan that is used to be associated with the Messianic Jews’ desire for full religious control over the Temple Mount.

« The video must be taken very seriously and the international community must act to put a stop to the Israeli government’s unruly aggression, » writes the Palestinian authority.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry and Jordan’s ditto also condemns the movie clip.

« Such rhetoric risks further impairing and escalating the situation, » said Jordanian spokesman Sufyan Qudah, according to Haaretz.

Temple Mountain and Al-Aqsa are two Name in the same place, a hill in the heart of the Eastern Jerusalem occupied by Israel.

Here, according to Jewish tradition, there were two temples that were both destroyed. One must have been built by King Solomon 3000 years ago and a later was demolished by the Romans in 70. Now it stands for Muslims very significant al-Aqsa Mosque on the site.

The Jews dream of a new temple there, but most people believe this should not happen until the Messiah comes. On the other hand, there are ultra -Orthodox groups and movements that are already struggling to get a temple on the mountain – which is also the third holiest place for the Sunni Muslims, the place where Prophet Muhammad should have risen to heaven.

Many Muslims consider that whole The area is an extension of the mosque, which makes Jewish presence on the mountain very sensitive.

In the past, Israel has been responsible for maintaining what is called « status quo » in the area. Jews may pray at the complaint and Muslims at Al-Aqsa, but not vice versa. Jews have previously only been admitted into the Al-Aqsa area in the highest groups of 30.

These are rules that are set in collaboration with Jordan, which is the special guardian of the place as a result of an agreement from 1967, after the six -day war.

But they seem to be about to be loosened up.

Not only have Israel Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, part of the extreme right and the movement that wants to see a new temple on the mountain, made several controversial visits to Al-Aqsa. Last Thursday, the situation escalated when the extreme right’s parliamentarian Tzvi Sukkot visited the area and opened openly.

Sukkot has previously been arrested and charged with similar actions in 2012, although the prosecution was closed down.

– 14 years ago I prostated myself for a second and was arrested and charged. I come here today with tears in my eyes. Jews prostate themselves to prayer here. They do not let the Arabs come close to us at all, the WAQF can not come close, said the parliamentarian where he stood.

To « prostate » means to lay straight with reverence and is something ultra -Orthodox Jews do before prayer.

Sukkot’s actions received criticism not only from Muslims, but also from the Israeli government, where Interior Minister Moshe Arbel said that both laws and religious rules were opposed.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said that it is not relevant to change the status quo in the al-Aqsa area.

« What was never done for 30 years is done now, at my request and I am proud to have the honor, under God’s blessing, to lead this great change, on the other hand, » says Police Minister Ben-Gvir.
