Turkey Spending Millions to Grow Influence Over Jerusalem Arabs -

"And they deceive every one his neighbour, and truth they speak not; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, they
weary themselves to commit iniquity."
Jeremiah
9:4 (The Israel Bible™)
 
The Jerusalem municipality'seastern
Jerusalem
experts have revealed in recent days that Turkey has been competing with Jordan over influence among Arab residents as well as over control
of the Temple Mount, Hashiloach-an Israeli journal for thought and policy, created by the Tikvah Fund-
reported
last week.
 
The city's experts, David Koren and Ben Avrahami, also revealed that Turkey has begun pouring millions of dollars into
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in eastern Jerusalem, in order to strengthen Ankara's status among the Arab residents, at the expense of Jordan and Israel.
 
The Arab population of Jerusalem numbers approximately 320,000, with another 50,000 residents of Judea and Samaria
who are staying in the city illegally or through family reunification. Jerusalem Arabs constitute about 37 percent of the city's population and about 20 percent of the Arab population in Israel. In fact, Jerusalem is the city with the highest Arab population
density between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea (excluding Gaza). Ramallah has 280,000 residents, and Nazareth, the largest Arab city in Israel, has only 75,000.
 
The vast majority of Jerusalem's Arabs are Muslim - the Christian population is estimated at between 10 and 15 thousand.
 
"The growing involvement of the Erdogan regime, which is now the main patron of the Muslim Brotherhood worldwide, shows
that the Turkish actions in Jerusalem are part of a wider process of creating regional Turkish hegemony at the expense of other players," wrote the Jerusalem mayor's advisers on the eastern part of the city, noting that "the biggest loser from the increased
Turkish presence is Jordan, which for many years had enjoyed the status of
Custodian
of the Holy Places
and the protector of the residents of eastern Jerusalem.
 
"The greatest threat to the Hashemite Kingdom on the Temple Mount comes from Turkey."
 
Earlier this month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan slammed Israel for "massacring the Palestinians,"calling
on the Turks to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque
and dubbing Israel's control of Jerusalem "an insult." He also attacked President Donald Trump's plans to
move the US embassy to Jerusalem, and declared that "all Muslims must defend Jerusalem."
 
The experts added that in May 2015, Muslim worshipers expelled the chief Jordanian Kadi from the Temple Mount, while
at the same time receiving with great honor the Turkish minister of religious affairs. "In recent years, the Turks have poured considerable sums of money into the Temple Mount for a number of activities: Koran reading groups, transporting worshipers to and
from the mosque, Ramadan meals, renovations, and cleaning. As a rule, whether deliberately or not, Muslim groups on the Temple Mount are acting in favor of Turkey and to the detriment of Jordan.
 
"In their view, replacing the Jordanian presence with Turkish presence would be a positive and welcome step," Koren
and Avrahami wrote.
 
"Erdogan's Turkey now enjoys unprecedented popularity among the residents of eastern Jerusalem," the report continued.
"Turkish flags are often seen hanging from rooftops in the eastern part of the city and even on the Temple Mount, and Turkish culture is being revived, which is reflected in Turkish language courses, Turkish music and Turkish cuisine."
 
One hundred years after the last Turkish soldier was chased out of Jerusalem by the invading British Empire, "Turkey's
public support for the Palestinian cause and the Al-Aqsa conflict, and their channeling of millions of dollars into eastern Jerusalem, bear many fruits in the form of sympathy and support," the experts concluded, adding that the Turks' "involvement is made
possible by their cooperation with Muslim Brotherhood elements in the city, who are often being used as their allies and collaborators."
