The reported proposal, made by Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, has raised concerns, with the Shin Bet warning that such a measure could escalate tensions, particularly if it applies to Palestinians from the '48 occupied territories and those with "permanent residence" status. Security Minister Yoav Gallant and War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz are said to have opposed Netanyahu's decision, expressing apprehension about potential mistakes resulting from bypassing the security establishment.

Ramadan is expected to begin in early March this year, a period marked by significant Muslim observances. Recent reports of increased restrictions on Palestinian entry to al-Aqsa Mosque, alongside widespread oppression in occupied territories, including detention campaigns and assassinations, have heightened tensions in the region.

Zionist military and intelligence authorities have recommended easing measures against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and al-Quds in anticipation of the upcoming month.

As the israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip approaches 150 days, concerns mount over potential escalation during Ramadan if the conflict persists. Palestinian Resistance factions seek to leverage the situation to push for a ceasefire, prisoner exchange, and reconstruction efforts in Gaza.

The looming specter of May 2021, when clashes between worshippers and Israeli forces erupted at al-Aqsa Mosque, underscores the potential for heightened tensions. Rocket attacks from Gaza during that period demonstrated a unified stance between the two Palestinian territories. (ILKHA)
