The Governorate of Jerusalem has warned of increasingly open and accelerated moves by extremist Jewish groups that it says are now working methodically to target, and ultimately destroy, Al-Aqsa Mosque to replace it with the so-called ” Third Temple”.

In a statement on Wednesday, the governorate said the public activities of these groups have become “an organised colonial project” led and supported by political and religious actors within the Israeli establishment, aiming to impose “full sovereignty over Al-Aqsa Mosque and to establish the alleged Temple in its place”.

The statement stressed that what is currently being shown through “preparations, rituals, and readiness” is no longer a mere religious dream or myth but a “coordinated colonial project” with institutional backing.
