Israel seeking to grab hold over al-Aqsa mosque

PIC reported:

A special Knesset session seeking to deliberate over ways to strip Jordan of the actual sovereignty over Muslims’ holy al-Aqsa Mosque is set to kick off Monday.

A number of Israeli ministers and senior officials along with representatives of the alleged temple organizations are expected to partake in the session.

Director-General of Jerusalem’s Awqaf (Endowment) and al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam al-Khatib, said in a press release: “Any potential tabling of Knesset deliberations over al-Aqsa affairs is unacceptable. Sovereignty over al-Aqsa is purely Islamic and remains under the auspices of Jordan, only.”

Israeli police and settler vandalism has lately stepped up at al-Aqsa Mosque as part of a larger attempt to impose a spatio-temporal division and enforce an Israeli sovereignty over the holy Islamic site.
