The Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has claimed that its October 7 attack on Israel was a “necessary step and a natural reaction against Israel’s plan… to establish complete control over Al-Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem].” That is why Hamas called the assault, which claimed the lives of 1,200 Israelis, “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.”
The only problem is: the claim is not true. Of course, there are no such plans. These plans only exist in the deranged imaginations of the Palestinian leaders fabricating the accusations against the Jews. In fact, it was Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Dayan who gave control over the Temple Mount to the Islamic Wakf authorities in 1967.
