Al-Aqsa Faces Israeli Efforts to Impose Time and Space Divisions

Israeli authorities have for years sought to establish divisions at Al-Aqsa Mosque based on time and space, alongside organised campaigns by Israeli officials and settler groups to enter its courtyards and hold prayers there.

The push centres on arrangements that would divide access to the mosque compound into separate times and areas. It concerns not only entry to the site but also where and when worship takes place.

Visits by Israeli officials and groups of settlers form part of the campaign described in the summary, with participants entering Al-Aqsa’s courtyards to perform prayers.

Taken together, these activities reflect a sustained effort to entrench time-based and physical divisions at the mosque, rather than a series of isolated visits.
