International Desk: Like every year, Muslims can pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque in the first week of Ramadan. However, the security situation will be reviewed every week, and decisions will be taken accordingly. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office reported this information on Tuesday. News: AFP.
Thousands of Muslims pray at Al-Aqsa every year during the month of Ramadan. Israel has been attacking Gaza since October last year, resulting in a stalemate between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
Even an Israeli minister claimed that allowing Palestinians living in the West Bank to enter Jerusalem would become risky. However, the United States has given its opinion in favor of allowing Muslims to pray at Al-Aqsa.
U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement that escalating tensions in the West Bank are detrimental to Israel’s own security.
Meanwhile, since the beginning of Ramadan, Hamas has called on Muslims to protect the sanctity of this month.
It should be noted that Israel started indiscriminate attacks on Gaza after the Palestinian independence organization Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 last year. More than 30,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of the campaign, which has been ongoing for more than four months.
