MASJID AL-AQSA EFFECTIVELY CLOSED TO MUSLIMS AND RESERVED FOR SETTLERS
Thursday 23 July 2026
“Who could be more unjust than those who prevent the Name of Allah from being mentioned in His *Masjids* and strive towards their destruction?”
[al-Baqarah 2:114]
Since Fajr this morning, Thursday 23 July 2026, the Israeli occupation police have imposed a complete, undeclared closure of Masjid al-Aqsa and its surrounding areas upon the Muslims to whom the Masjid belongs. This has been done to reserve it for settlers on what they call the “anniversary of the destruction of the Temple”.
The details are as follows:
1. Waqf employees prevented from entering
Israeli occupation forces prevented all Waqf employees from entering Masjid al-Aqsa to carry out their duties, with the exception of the guards who were already on shift.
As a result, fewer than half of the Waqf employees were able to enter Masjid al-Aqsa. Their numbers had already been severely reduced through repeated banning orders and the cancellation of permits.
2. Gates closed to Muslim worshippers
The Israeli occupation police completely closed the King Faisal Gate in the north, together with the Cotton Merchants’ Gate and the Iron Gate in the west, to Muslim worshippers.
The areas outside these gates were instead reserved for settlers to perform religious rituals, sing and dance since yesterday evening.
3. Arbitrary age restrictions
This morning, the Israeli occupation police imposed an arbitrary minimum age of 75 upon Muslims wishing to enter Masjid al-Aqsa.
As the time for Zuhr salah approached, the minimum age was raised even further to 80.
4. Muslims told that the day was “reserved for Jews”
Israeli occupation police informed many Muslim worshippers who had come to perform salah at Masjid al-Aqsa that “today is reserved for Jews”, and ordered them to return to their homes.
This represents a renewed attempt to impose a complete temporal division of Masjid al-Aqsa and to divide religious occasions between Muslims and Jews. It was opposition to this very policy that led to the Jerusalem uprising in 2015.
In effect, these measures meant that Zuhr salah was prevented inside Masjid al-Aqsa today.
Masjid al-Aqsa has been practically closed to Muslims, without any official announcement, since Fajr salah.
The accompanying footage shows the condition of Masjid al-Aqsa immediately after the Zuhr salah had ended.
The gradual exclusion of Muslims from Masjid al-Aqsa, while settlers are granted unrestricted access to perform rituals within it is another step towards imposing a full temporal and spatial division of the blessed Masjid.
May Allah protect Masjid al-Aqsa, strengthen its people and grant the Ummah the resolve to fulfil its responsibility towards it.

Our defense doctrine is clear: eye for an eye.
Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response.
Those who contribute to such aggression, whatever the kind of support, will also be considered as legitimate targets.
the Israeli regime and lobby have been running a smear campaign against Karim Khan since he issued the ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders. The US, UK, France, Germany have all been enlisted in this effort. The tactic is classic Zionist hasbara: smear him as a sex criminal because that's the best way to get the liberal faction of the Zionist media class to take the leading part in the campaign of destroying him. And it worked. The Guardian and even The Intercept took the lead role in launching this smear, which gave it the cherished liberal sheen of objectivity and legitimacy that it would never have had if it was launched in the typical Zionist hasbara rags like the New York Post, Daily Mail, Jerusalem Post and Haaretz.
Once they got the liberal faction of the Zionist media and political class on board, the campaign to destroy Khan proceeded with ease, even though the independent judicial review of the allegations against him concluded that there is nothing of substance to it whatsoever.
What they also got is the silence of the pseudo-radical faction of the media and political class. Jacobin, Democracy Now, Drop Site, AOCIA, Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani including in his scripted video where he admitted he lied about arresting Netanyahu citing the ICC warrants, they have all chosen to let Khan be destroyed, lest they be seen as defending a "sex criminal". Btw one of the most active smearers of Khan is Kenneth Roth, that degenerate scumfuck liberal Zionist masquerading as a principled human rights lover. He has been obsessively demanding his removal for months.
So what will happen now is the Western regimes have forced through a vote on Khan's fate, and the US is using all its economic power to pressure African and other nations to back his removal, saying they will tariff and sanction them if they refuse. All done on behalf of their master Israel and Zionist Jewish supremacists.
The vote will happen tomorrow, and it is likely to pass. When it passes and Khan is removed, they will install a puppet like the deranged Julia Sebutinde woman who is just a pure Mossad asset copy-pasting whatever script is sent to her (she literally was caught doing that btw, and yes, it will likely be a black African woman as that's a nice shield to have and the liberal media and political class especially love that). This new "chief prosecutor" of the ICC who is a Mossad asset installed by the Zionist West on behalf of their master will then retract the arrest warrants for "lack of evidence".
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s illegal for landlords to:
- Lock you out or evict you without a court order.
- Shut off your heat, hot water, electricity, or other essential services to force you out of your home.
- Retaliate against you for reporting unsafe conditions or exercising your tenant rights.
- Leave serious health and safety hazards, like mold, unrepaired.
- Discriminate against you because of your race, disability, or other protected characteristics.

⚠️ Muslim woman attacked with glass bottle by racist thugs in Glasgow
A disturbing video has emerged showing the moment a Muslim woman walking in Glasgow city centre was attacked by a group of racist thugs.
Taxi driver Zack Aziz said he was working in the early hours of Wednesday, July 22, when he noticed a disturbance on Renfield Street. In footage shared from the incident, he can be heard asking what had happened before urging people to call emergency services.
The video shows four males approaching the woman, who was reportedly on her way home from work. One person is seen striking her on the head with what appears to be a glass bottle.
Mr Aziz said the group had been shouting racist abuse towards the woman and they told her to remove her Hijab.
He said one of the men, wearing orange shorts, then hit her with a bottle, leaving her needing medical treatment. The woman was later taken to hospital, where she received stitches for her injuries.
