Filtering prophecies: Sealing the fate of al-Aqsa
The fate of al-Aqsa Mosque remains unclear as it is caught between Israeli annexation plans, Jewish extremist raids, international silence and a history of bloodshed
To fulfil the "prophecy," Jewish extremists believe that a third temple must be built. But of course, there is the inconvenient fact that on that particular spot exists one of Islam's holiest sites: The Noble Sanctuary, or al-Haram al-Sharif. It has been an exclusively Muslim prayer site for the last 1,300 years.
The combination of right-wing politicians allied with religious zealots is now defining the Israeli attitude towards Palestinians, particularly in Jerusalem. They are eyeing al-Aqsa for annexation, the same way the Israeli government is laboring to permanently annex large swathes of the occupied West Bank.
