Occupied Jerusalem – The young Jerusalemite, Ramzi Al-Abbasi, refused to sign the decision to deport him from… Al-Aqsa Mosque Which he received on the fourth of this month, on the pretext of “fear of disturbing public order” in this sanctuary, which is the charge that was directed at him during the investigation with him for only five minutes, despite his detention for 18 hours.
Al-Abbasi wrote in the notes section of the decision that this deportation was “unjust, forced and illegal.” Despite this, he was informed that he had to receive a new decision to deport him from Al-Aqsa Mosque for a period of 6 months on the 11th of this month, after receiving a decision to deport him from it for a week.
Speaking to Al Jazeera Net, Al-Abbasi said that the deportation he received was an administrative deportation that he could not object to or reduce. He added that the police claimed that it came as a result of the mourning of the Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher. Akram Sabri The deceased Ismail Haniyeh From the pulpit of Al-Aqsa Mosque last Friday.
“Precautionary” deportation
“Following this obituary, the Israeli media took great action and incited against the sheikh’s words. It seems that the intelligence services decided to choose certain figures who had been arrested previously to pursue them. Five arrest warrants were issued against Jerusalemites, headed by Akram Sabri,” says Al-Abbasi.
Commenting on the deportation decision, he said, “This is the strangest deportation decision I have ever experienced. In fact, we did nothing. They asked us what happened on Friday, and accused us of chanting slogans for Ismail Haniyeh, and asked us if we chanted the takbir.”
But Al-Abbasi confirms that the decision to banish him from Al-Aqsa Mosque, which he and eight other Jerusalemites received since the beginning of the month, “also falls within the framework of the precautionary ban campaign implemented by the occupation authorities before the anniversary of the so-called destruction of the the structure” every year.
The Jews claim that the Babylonians destroyed the “First Temple” in 586 BC, and that the Romans destroyed the “Second Temple” in 70 AD, and therefore texts from the “Book of Lamentations” must be recited on August 9 according to the Hebrew calendar every year inside the synagogues, which falls next Tuesday, August 13, according to the Gregorian calendar.
These narratives deal with the “Babylonian occupation.” Jerusalem The Jews were displaced from their country to the land of Babylon, where they stayed for 70 years, until the Persian King Cyrus allowed them to return to their homes and build the Second Temple, which was later destroyed by the Romans.
Political goals
The extremists insist on storming the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque on this occasion, and they refuse to commemorate it in their synagogues only, and they carry out a series of violations during their storming. The number of those who stormed the mosque on this occasion last year reached 2,180 extremists, both male and female, and in 2022, 2,201 extremists stormed the courtyards of the first of the two Qiblahs.
Khaled Zabarqa, a lawyer specialising in Jerusalem issues, told Al Jazeera Net that the campaign of arrests and deportations carried out by the Israeli authorities before every Jewish occasion in Jerusalem has political objectives, and aims primarily to impose the Jewish religious identity on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
“This campaign is far from the law, and it uses legal tools to advance political agendas, and this has nothing to do with the law,” according to Zabarqa.
Today, a decision was issued to prevent Sheikh Akram Sabri from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque for a period of 6 months, after a previous decision to ban him for a period of one week, according to Zabarqa.
He pointed out that the original rule is that Muslims should enter Al-Aqsa with ease and without any obstacles, but since the occupation police, in cooperation with all other security services, have taken it upon themselves to impose Jewish incursions into Al-Aqsa, especially on religious occasions, by force of arms, brutality and persecution, then “this in itself is an arbitrary measure because it deprives the people of Jerusalem of their right to movement first, and to worship and access the holy places second.”

Boycott of Israeli Judiciary
Regarding the role of lawyers in following up on deportation decisions issued against the people of Jerusalem, Zabarqa pointed out that all lawyers abide by the religious fatwa issued by the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem at the beginning of its establishment, which prohibits resorting to the Israeli judiciary in everything related to Islamic holy sites, including Al-Aqsa Mosque.
He described the fatwa as sound, and its importance became clear over the years, as lawyers found that “this is the correct way to deal with the Israeli judiciary because it is not fair, but rather biased towards the Jewish agenda and Judaization policies.”
In addition to adhering to the fatwa, the lawyer specializing in Jerusalem issues stressed that going to Israeli courts with such cases is useless and does not change anything, and therefore it is better to adhere to the principled position that rejects going to the Israeli judiciary, “and not to put the issue of our right to worship and access to Al-Aqsa on the Israeli judiciary’s morgue, especially since the occupation is seeking legitimacy for itself over the mosque through litigation in its judicial system.”
