The Middle East Monitor: Al-Aqsa Association for Religious Endowment (Waqf) and Heritage has accused the Israeli occupation authorities of planting thousands of fake Jewish tombs around Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City of Jerusalem. This, claims the association, is taking place in a wide area covering the Mount of Olives (to the east of Al-Aqsa), Wadi Selwan (south) and Wadi Al-Rababa.
Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage (AFEH) said Israel has planted 3,000 “fake” Jewish graves so far around the al-Aqsa Mosque.
In a press statement, the association said that the Israeli government is using bodies such as the Elad Association and the so-called Nature and National Parks Authority to carry out this activity. Tombs have been created while supposed “reconstruction, maintenance, reform, development, engineering survey and statistics” work has been done. Al-Aqsa Association has emphasised Israel’s ongoing Judaisation policy at Al-Aqsa Mosque and the rest of the Old City. The Israelis, alleges the association, want to gain complete control over the Waqf and Palestinian lands to turn them into cemeteries, settlements, biblical and national parks, and Jewish areas.
Historically, under the Ottoman Empire, Jews were allowed to bury their dead in Waqf land but the amount of land so used is much less than what the Israelis claim it to be. The agreement for such use was not renewed due to the Israeli occupation. Moreover, since 1967, Israel has taken control of dozens of square kilometres of Waqf and Palestinian land and turned them into new Jewish cemeteries with “tombs” containing no human remains at all.
