Since 2019, the actual war over the ownership of the "Gate of Mercy" began, as Israel sees this place as hope to start implementing its vision of dividing the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews. By leading this battle, Itamar Ben-Gvir is trying to present himself as the sole savior of Israel's religious far-right, jumping on Netanyahu's back to emerge as his powerful successor.
The Israeli government's table is waiting for the right moment to implement it, as happened when the Ibrahimi Mosque was divided in 1994.
