Palestinian Foreign Ministry warns of settler plans to demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has warned of plans by settler organisations circulating on Hebrew-language platforms that discuss attacking and demolishing Al-Aqsa Mosque and constructing a temple in its place.
In a statement published on X, the ministry said it considers the plans a “systematic incitement to escalate the targeting of Christian and Islamic holy sites in occupied Jerusalem”.
“The Ministry calls on the international community and its relevant UN institutions to deal with this incitement with utmost seriousness, and to take the measures required by international law,” it said.
Israeli settlers regularly storm Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam’s third-holiest site, in occupied East Jerusalem and perform religious rituals under the protection of Israeli forces.
Under Jerusalem’s status quo arrangements, non-Muslims are not allowed to worship at the compound.
Palestine condemns AI video showing Al-Aqsa Mosque bombing
Palestine’s Foreign Ministry has condemned an AI-generated video titled Next Year in Jerusalem circulating on far-right Hebrew platforms.
The video shows al-Aqsa Mosque being bombed and replaced by a Third Temple.
In a statement, the ministry called the video “a systematic provocation aimed at escalating attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem”.
It said Israel’s far-right leadership feels “emboldened to advance its Judaisation and colonial agenda amid weak international reactions to its ongoing genocidal crimes, particularly in Gaza”.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is Islam’s third holiest site and a symbol of Palestinian identity.
Qatar calls threats to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque ‘dangerous provocation’

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms Qatar’s unequivocal rejection of any attempt to alter the historical and legal status of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, or its holy sites.”
