Whoever knew Itamar bin Gvir was fully aware that he would storm the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, violate its sanctity, carry out his threats, continue making his promises, continue his foolish statements and provocative positions, insist on his stupid politics and his extremist racist ideas, and his position would not change him or his sense of responsibility, and he would not The international community will deter him, and the voices of the opposition will not frighten him. Netanyahu will not restrain him, nor will he pressure him to influence him or change his mind. Rather, he will remain, as we knew him, a reckless, turbulent, hardline racist, who thinks himself that he is the strongest, and that no one will stop him or be able to stop him, as he relies on blind force and violence. The reckless one, which will not benefit him much and will never keep him, no matter how strong and capable he thinks he is. He is like a slaughtered bull, foaming and foaming and blood gushing from his veins while he is on his way to the final fall inevitably.

There is nothing new about Bin Ghafir’s storming of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque except that he became a minister in the new Zionist government, as he was accustomed to attempts to storm the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and he used to organize many of them and call for them and announce with bravado and defiance about their dates, and demand settlers to support him and participate in his provocative activities. The Israeli security forces follow his activities, monitor his incitement, know his timings, and even accompany him during the raid, protect him during roaming, facilitate the way for him and facilitate his mission, and repel the Palestinians if they try to prevent him, and arrest and shoot them, accusing them of being the ones who initiated the attack and endangering the lives of the settlers.

What is new in Bin Ghafir’s short and quick raid, which took place surreptitiously and was carried out hastily and in disorder at an untimely time, is that he is at the top of power and the first decision-maker in legalizing the raids and organizing the attacks on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, as he is the Minister of “internal” national security, which means that he is the police chief He is responsible for security and protection, concerned with approval permissions and rejection decisions, and responsible for expulsion and exclusion, prevention and deprivation, carrying out arrests and imposing house and regional house arrests.

This means that we may witness in the coming days new incursions and many other attempts to attack the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, as long as Ben Gvir has become the codifier and the legislator, the owner of the authority and the owner of the decision, and a partner in the government and a member of the Cabinet, noting that those who preceded him were like him, but with softness. And calmly, as they facilitated for him and others the raids secretly and silently, without fuss or chaos, or statements, promises and threats, but Ben Gvir looks forward to speaking out and declaring, insisting and repeating, in order to raise Palestinian, Arab and Islamic awareness, and to accustom them to daily raids, prayer times, ritual schedules and bodies of worship. .

Returning to Ben Gvir’s personal record, which he is proud of and does not hide, announces and persists in, we will find that he belongs to the terrorist organization “Kach” ideologically, and takes its leader Meir Kahane as his spiritual guide, adopts his ideas, hangs his pictures and revives his memory, and glorifies Baruch Goldstein, the perpetrator of a massacre The Ibrahimi Mosque in 1994, and considers him a national hero and a religious savior, and believes that his killing was a great crime, an insult, a curse, and a disgrace to the soldiers who shot him, and that he must be rehabilitated and honored, and an apology to his family and compensation, and perhaps he is worse than the two and more racist than them, and more obscene It is bloodier, more brazen in style, and reckless behavior, as it insists, with its policies, stances, statements, and practices, on linking the terrorist past with the worse present.

Faced with this reality, which may arise and recur, legalize and legitimize, and become a fait accompli and a common occurrence, the Palestinians should first have their firm and clear position, such as their position in confronting the electronic gates and closing the gates of the Haram, where they forced the occupation authorities and Prime Minister himself Netanyahu to retreat and retreat, open the gates and remove hardware.

All Arabs and Muslims, systems and peoples, governments and organizations, must have their own national and religious stance towards the new aggression, and confront it with all possible means to curb and suppress the enemy, and inform it that Jerusalem, like Al-Aqsa Mosque, is a religious belief, and Quranic verses, that cannot be tampered with or tolerated. Otherwise, the Palestinians have the full right to respond to the practices of the occupation by resisting them, and forcing them to retreat by force. Our people are capable of that, and to protect their rights and sanctities have a past, no matter what it costs in martyrdom, arrest, harassment, siege, war and aggression.
