APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Jerusalem - 16 July 2021. Palestinian Muslim worshipers perform the Friday prayer at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, Islam's third holiest site.
STORYLINE
Over the past few weeks, hardline Israeli settler groups have entered the premises on a near-daily basis, under heavy protection from Israeli troops. The groups’ objective is to rebuild the Third Jewish Temple on the grounds of Al-Aqsa Mosque, according to their websites.
But under the status quo affirmed in 1967, only Muslims can pray within al-Haram al-Sharif.
Palestinians fear Israel plans to eventually take the compound over or partition it. The Israeli government has repeatedly said it has no intention of changing the status quo, under which the Waqf oversees the site.
