Donald Trump's choice as the next United States defence secretary has called for the building of a third Jewish temple on the site of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Pete Hegseth, a former TV show host, was picked by the incoming US President Trump for the role following his election victory earlier this month. Hegseth has previously touted his avowedly pro-Israel credentials, which derive in part from his fundamentalist Christian beliefs. Speaking at an event in Jerusalem in 2018 he said there was "no reason why the miracle of re-establishing the temple on the Temple Mount isn’t possible", using the Israeli name for the raised plateau in occupied East Jerusalem where Al-Aqsa Mosque stands. "I don't how it would happen, you don't know how it would happen, but I know that it could happen - and a step in that process is the recognition that facts and activities on the ground truly matter," he said at the event, which took place at Jerusalem's King David Hotel. Atop the hill is the vast Al-Aqsa Mosque, a complex of courtyards, prayer halls and shrines, including the golden-roofed Dome of the Rock. The mosque is one of the holiest sites in Islam. Restrictions on non-Muslims entering the mosque have been in place since the Ottoman status quo designating Jerusalem's holy sites to its sects was established in 1757. The Chief Rabbinate of Jerusalem has also, since 1921, officially banned Jews from entering the Temple Mount. However in recent years far-right Jewish activists have regularly stormed the mosque complex accompanied by ministers in the government, and Palestinians' access to the mosque and courtyards has been routinely restricted by Israeli security forces. Far-right Jewish activists want to build a third Jewish temple on the site where Al-Aqsa Mosques structures and courtyards stand today. Some, including Christian Evangelicals, believe this will herald the arrival of the messiah and possibly even the end of the world. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/new-us-defence-secretary-called-building-third-temple-jerusalem Donald Trump's choice as the next United States defence secretary has called for the building of a third Jewish temple on the site of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

Trump just crossed over the 76 MILLION vote threshold - the first ever for a Republican candidate in U.S. history. You might say, "Amir, but it was only Hamas who did that to you..." and my answer would be: Hamas was elected by the people of Gaza and is widely supported by people in Judea and Samaria. Hamas simply performed what most Palestinians dream of but haven't been able to accomplish thus far. ... However, Iran's goal isn't Jerusalem; it's Mecca. The Sunni world in general, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in particular, are the holy grail for the Shias. The Shia-Sunni conflict traces back to the early days of Islam when, after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 AD, a dispute arose over his successor. Sunnis, the majority branch, supported the election of a caliph, leading to the selection of Abu Bakr, while the Shia believed the leadership should stay within Muhammad's family, specifically with Ali, his cousin and son-in-law. This schism has evolved into broader theological, political, and cultural differences over centuries. The journey of the Islamic Republic of Iran to reach its goal began in the 1980s with the creation of a corridor via Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon towards the Mediterranean Sea, then to Yemen, and according to their plan - Jordan is next. Qatar is already in their pocket, and now they eye the Gulf states such as the UAE, Bahrain, and Oman. Israel isn't the target but merely a means to an end. Toppling the ayatollahs' regime would save the oppressed Iranian people, bring great relief to the Saudis, stabilize the region, and serve as a death sentence to the proxies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, potentially causing Qatar to stop funding Hamas. Biblically, Persia will join the future coalition against Israel in Ezekiel 38. The question that remains is: will it be during this regime of ayatollahs or another one that might replace it?
