TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to the Palestine Information Center, Azzam Abu al-Adas, a Palestinian writer and political analyst, stated in a speech: The current developments in Occupied Quds are part of a broad strategy that aims to redefine the objective realities in Al-Aqsa Mosque gradually by imposing field realities, the implementation of which is planned to be carried out quietly and quietly to become an objective reality.

He added that the intensification of security measures is one of the links in a long path that seeks to test the practical response and Palestinian and Arab positions.

The Palestinian analyst continued that the increased security presence and control over the entrances to the Old City of Occupied Quds indicate a clear desire to control the level of Palestinian presence at Al-Aqsa Mosque, as the reduction in the number of worshippers at the holy site will facilitate any future changes in how it is managed.

Abu al-Adas stressed that the harsh security treatment of worshippers, especially on religious occasions, carries a message of psychological deterrence before any action on the ground.

He concluded by warning that the continuation of such policies could lead to further tensions, especially in the sensitive situation of Occupied Quds and its religious and national status, and any attack on the current situation at Al-Aqsa Mosque could have consequences even beyond the city’s borders.
