The video begins by highlighting an unprecedented event: the call by Temple organizations to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque on a Friday, specifically May 15, 2026. Historically, Al-Aqsa had not been stormed on Fridays since settler incursions began in 2003, with Fridays and Saturdays previously exempt. The move signifies a shift from merely closing Al-Aqsa on Fridays during Ramadan to actively storming it.
The speaker reviews similar past incidents, such as when the 'Destruction of the Temple' commemoration coincided with Eid al-Adha in 2019 and the 28th of Ramadan in 2021. These events were used to normalize incursions on sacred days. The primary objective is to establish Al-Aqsa as a 'shared holy site' where Israeli considerations take precedence over Islamic ones, even on religious holidays like Eid.
Recent developments include Temple organizations collecting signatures to raise the Israeli flag inside Al-Aqsa. There's also a rising political push, with Knesset members and ministers, including figures like Ben-Gvir, advocating for these incursions. This political involvement suggests a coordinated effort to facilitate and normalize further aggression, with police leadership known to support the 'Temple' ideology.
Zionist organizations employ insidious tactics to achieve their goals, which include establishing a historical precedent for Friday incursions, potentially between 6:30 AM and 11:30 AM before Friday prayers. Another objective is to create a new precedent for incursions on Thursdays after afternoon prayers, aiming to expand incursion times permanently. This follows a promise made by Deputy Prime Minister Yariv Levin in 2025.
'Jerusalem Day' (28th of Iyar in the Hebrew calendar), commemorating the Israeli occupation of Jerusalem in 1967, is a key opportunity for demonstrating sovereignty. This day features the notorious Flag March and has historically been used to introduce new changes to Al-Aqsa incursions, such as mass prostration and increasing the number of concurrent infiltrators, as seen in 2024 and 2025. This gradual escalation is driven by figures like Ben-Gvir and the Israeli police.
To counter these provocations, it is crucial to declare Thursday and Friday as days of 'ribat' (religious steadfastness) and 'shad rihal' (journeying to a holy place), encouraging a massive presence at Al-Aqsa. This sustained presence is the only way to prevent and disrupt planned incursions, preserving the sanctity and exclusivity of the mosque from further Israeli imposition. The speaker urges both local and international support, emphasizing that Al-Aqsa remains a central focus in the ongoing conflict.
