PA daily calls Jews visiting the Temple Mount for Jewish holidays “gangs of settlers” who carried out “invasions” of the Al-Aqsa Mosque because of “alleged Temple” organizations
Headline: “Wide-scale invasions of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and clashes in Abu Dis”
“The Al-Aqsa Mosque was witness to wide-scale invasions by gangs of settlers yesterday [Sept. 28, 2017], with reinforced protection from the occupation forces. The alleged Temple organizations called on their activists through their websites and social media to widely and intensively participate in invasions of the Al-Aqsa Mosque yesterday, Thursday, and in the coming days for the ‘Talmudic Hebrew’ (i.e., Jewish) holidays.”
The PA and its leaders consider all of the Temple Mount an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore they view any presence of Jews on the mount as an “invasion.” It should be noted that Jews who visit the Temple Mount only enter some sections of the open areas, and do not enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock.
"Alleged Temple organizations" refer to religious Jewish movements including the Temple Mount Institute, the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, The Initiative for Jewish Freedom on the Temple Mount and Students for the Temple Mount, which spread awareness of the importance of the Temple Mount in Judaism and encourage people to visit the site.
