PA: Jews visiting the Temple Mount are “defiling the Al-Aqsa Mosque”‎

Official PA TV host: "What are you thinking to do this year [2021] to stop these attacks, ‎these break-ins by the hateful extremist settlers who are defiling the Al-Aqsa Mosque… "

Al-Aqsa Mosque Manager Omar Al-Kiswani: "The fact that Israeli Parliament members ‎‎[visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque plaza] constitutes dangerous signs of an attempt to impose ‎facts  on the ground at the Al-Aqsa Mosque [plaza].‎"

The PA and its leaders misrepresent all of the Temple Mount as an integral part of the ‎Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore, they vilify any presence of Jews on the mount as a "break-‎in." 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. Israeli ‎police ban Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount because of threats of violence by ‎Palestinians.‎
