Khaled Meshaal, the head of Hamas's political bureau abroad, has warned that recent Israeli actions and measures concerning Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem are "paving the way for total control and domination over the site," according to Mehr News Agency.
Meshaal's comments reflect longstanding Palestinian and Hamas concerns over Israeli policies at the flashpoint holy site, which is sacred to both Muslims and Jews and has repeatedly been a source of tension.
The Hamas official's remarks did not specify particular new measures beyond the general warning, according to the available report.
Al-Aqsa Mosque, located in Jerusalem's Old City, has long been a focal point of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with disputes over access, security arrangements and religious practice at the site periodically triggering broader tensions in the region.
There was no immediate Israeli government response to Meshaal's remarks noted in the report.
