AMMAN — On Monday, Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs,
Mohammad Al-Khalayleh condemned Israeli authorities for installing iron
barriers at three gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque: Bab Al-Majlis, Bab Al-Ghawanima, and
Bab Al-Hadid, describing it as ‘provocative and a change to the historical and
legal status quo in Jerusalem.’

In a statement, he warned against these measures imposed by
Israel under the pretext of 'security purposes,' which threatens to besiege
Al-Aqsa, restrict entry of worshippers, and exacerbate crowding. He considered
it a dangerous and rejected step to impose a new reality at the mosque and its
surroundings, recalling fears of a repeat of the 2017 electronic gates idea,
Al-Ghad reported.
He viewed these actions as blatant interference by the
arrogant Israeli occupation authorities in Muslims' right to pray at Al-Aqsa,
whether during Ramadan or throughout the year. Khalayleh also emphasized that
prayer at Al-Aqsa is an absolute right for Muslims, and no one can deny them
this right, calling on the international community to intervene to stop these
violations.
