The city of Bayt al-Maqdis under the Zionist
occupation is subjected daily to many violations that affect the legal and humanitarian
aspects of the city. The policies of the occupier have affected everything in
the holy city and their direct goal to Judaize everything even the graves. This
catastrophically threatens to erase the identity of the city. If nothing is
done, the holy city and its historical heritage and civilisation will seek to
exist. This paper comes to uncover the dangers facing the Muslim Awqaf in the
city. Judaisation has been applied systematically since the occupation of the
holy city which had been planned many decades earlier. The researcher analytically
traces the subject matter and collected the data from numerous sources and reached
a set of results summarised in the following points: Judaisation is the main
objective of all the plans and policies practiced by the occupation in the city,
and seeks to erase all traces of non-Jews in the holy city and make them look
purely Jewish. The policy of Judaisation
had resulted in three types of Judaisation: Urban, demographic and cultural. The city is characterised as a city of Awqaf,
and it varies from other Awqaf in the Muslim world with several features. The
Awqaf of Bayt al-Maqdis has been subjected to repeated attacks, which caused
the destruction of many of them, and the seizure of others. The purpose of the
Judaisation scheme against the Awqaf of the city had been aimed to erase the
most important Islamic identify that has characterised the city for centuries
and to replace it with a Jewish one to lay claim to the holy city. Moreover, the
Al-Aqsa Mosque is considered one of the most important Islamic Waqf in the city
of Bayt al-Maqdis. Therefore, it is subjected to relentless attempts of
Judaisation, including attempts to destroy it from burning it and carrying out
extensive excavations beneath it, threatening to undermine its foundations.
