  "account": "The historical status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque is deteriorating due to increased restrictions on Muslims and challenges to the old management rules. Timbalan Pengerusi Majlis Waqaf Islam di Baitulmuqaddis Mustafa Abu Sway stated that Israeli security forces are blocking people, including youths, women, and elderly, from accessing the mosque, depriving them of their right to worship. He urged foreign ministers and leaders to speak out against Israeli incursions and coordinate with Jordan on next steps. Abu Sway emphasized that Al-Aqsa is part of Muslim identity worldwide, including in Southeast Asia, and that countries and Muslim states have a role in supporting Jordan's preservation efforts.",
