In Provocative Move: War Criminal Netanyahu appears in video inside tunnel under Al-Aqsa Mosque
Occupied Quds - Saba:
In a provocative move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a wanted war criminal sought by the International Criminal Court (ICC), posted a video showing himself inside a massive archaeological tunnel dug beneath the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, stretching from Silwan to directly beneath the mosque.
In his recorded speech from inside the tunnel, Netanyahu declared, "Al-Quds will remain the eternal capital of Israel," pledging to push for international recognition and the relocation of embassies to the city.
His visit coincided with the 58th anniversary of the 1967 occupation of Jerusalem, known in Israel as "Al-Quds Unification Day." The city witnessed unprecedented escalations by settlers under the protection of occupation forces, including a large-scale incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards by over 2,090 settlers, as well as the "Flag March," which featured racist chants such as "Death to Arabs" and "Let Gaza be wiped out."
Observers described Netanyahu's appearance inside the tunnel as an attempt to impose a "new Judaized reality" in Al-Quds. Activists viewed it as a direct violation of Islamic sanctities and a threat to the foundations of Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially since the occupation authorities' excavations—under the pretext of searching for "remnants of the alleged Temple"—have continued for years without yielding any historical evidence to support these claims.
The video also sparked widespread anger among Palestinian and Arab circles, with factions condemning the visit as a "dangerous provocation" and a "threat to the fragile status quo" in the occupied city. The Islamic Waqf and Jordan called on the international community to intervene and halt repeated Israeli violations against Al-Aqsa.
According to Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper, observers warn that these Israeli actions, including Netanyahu's visit, could ignite a new wave of escalation in Al-Quds—particularly amid what activists describe as "shameful" Arab and international silence—as Judaization policies targeting the city, both above and below ground, continue unchecked.
