Israel in “hidden war” to “overturn Jerusalem’s historical and Arab truths,” destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque “to build the alleged Temple”
Official PA TV News, on PA claims Israel is building a cemetery under the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount
Official PA TV newsreader: "The occupation authorities are planning the establishment of a settler cemetery underneath the Old City [of Jerusalem] and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem (sic., possibly refers to an underground cemetery of this size being planned in the Givat Shaul neighborhood of Jerusalem, far from the Old City and the Temple Mount). This cemetery will be able to contain more than 24,000 graves, most of them bogus."
Official PA TV reporter: "(Unclear word –Ed.) Within [Jerusalem], the occupation authority is continuing its Judaization plots in occupied Jerusalem. The latest dangerous chapter of Judaization was the daring to establish an enormous cemetery under the foundations of the Old City and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. [Israel] accordingly took control of an area of 16 dunams (i.e., 16,000 sq. meters) of waqf land (i.e., waqf is an inalienable religious endowment in Islamic law), which spreads [in East Jerusalem] from the Mount of Olives to the Silwan Valley (PMW could find no record online of such a land expropriation –Ed.). The cemetery plan – which the occupation began to pass after allocating a sum of $90 million for it and closing the main road that passes through the old cemetery on the Mount of Olives to Silwan – will be connected to what is called the Talmudic (i.e., Jewish) Path in the area of the Old City and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The hidden war that the occupation authority is waging in Jerusalem – whether by settlement, creating facts on the ground, excavations underneath it to establish a cemetery for settlers, or museums alongside activities in search of the alleged Temple – is included in a planned and complete framework for overturning the contours and the historical and Arab truths of the city, in an attempt to establish the occupation's narrative, fables, and Talmudic stories.
The occupation's escalation of the excavations under the Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem, amid false pretexts and excuses, sounds the warning bell about the fate of the ancient neighborhoods and warns of a disaster that is liable to lead to their collapse at any moment – especially the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which the occupation is trying to destroy in order to establish the alleged Temple on its ruins, especially considering the cracks and collapses being caused, which have harmed a number of civilian homes (sic., see note below)."
