Amjad Karaja stated in a statement: "The closure of the Ibrahimi Mosque not only violates the sanctity of this holy place but also undermines the right of Muslims to access their places of worship." He also emphasized the need to respect the religious rights of Muslims and stated that this action would lead to increased tensions in the region.

Social and Religious Consequences

The closure of the Ibrahimi Mosque, especially during these days as Muslims approach their religious occasions, could have significant social and religious repercussions. This site, as a historical and religious symbol, has always been at the center of attention for Muslims, and the imposed restrictions could lead to negative feelings within the Muslim community.

Additionally, the closure of this mosque could also impact the political and social developments in Hebron and the surrounding areas. Some analysts believe that this action could lead to increased insecurity and tension in the region, consequently negatively affecting the peace process as well.

The director of the Hebron Awqaf once again urged officials to respect the rights of Muslims and to refrain from any actions that could escalate tensions. He also expressed hope that this decision would be revoked soon and that Muslims would be able to freely engage in their worship and religious practices.
