For the tenth consecutive day, Israeli occupation authorities have closed Al-Aqsa Mosque, citing a state of emergency due to the ongoing Israeli-American attack on Iran. The closure has resulted in restrictions on access for worshippers, raising concerns during the sacred month of Ramadan. Non-residents of the Old City of Jerusalem are also being barred from entering, impacting local businesses reliant on increased activity during this time.

The Christian Islamic Committee for Supporting Jerusalem and Holy Sites condemned the closure of Al-Aqsa, calling it an unprecedented escalation that reflects the Israeli authorities' determination to impose a new reality by continuing to disturb religious practices during Ramadan. The committee noted that the closure affects the sanctity of the mosque and directly infringes upon the rights of Muslims to access their sacred sites, especially during this holy month.

In addition to the spiritual implications, this prolonged closure is causing significant economic detriment to local merchants who usually see an influx of customers during Ramadan. The Israeli justification for the closure is being rejected by the committee, highlighting the importance of upholding the right to worship freely without impediments. This situation underscores the broader tensions in Jerusalem and raises concerns about the ongoing conflict and its religious dimensions.
