More than 1,100 Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex on September 27, performing rituals under Israeli military protection — prompting Hamas official Khaled Meshaal to warn the actions are "paving the way for total control and domination" over the holy site. The escalation comes as Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the military to "go to war" in the West Bank and "do what we did in Gaza," including dismantling the Palestinian Authority — a statement the PA condemned as an "explicit call for escalation, annexation and displacement."
