In pictures: Palestinians prepare for Eid al-Adha in Gaza amid Israeli bombardment

Despite ongoing Israeli bombardment and a rising death toll, Palestinians in Gaza prepare to observe Eid al-Adha, as a targeted strike reportedly kills a Hamas commander.

In breve

A Middle East Eye article reports on the Palestinian Authority's warning against an alleged US-Israeli plan to end Jordan's custodianship of Al-Aqsa Mosque, proposing instead a multi-faith center with increased Israeli control. The story cites anonymous US officials for the plan's details and a verifiable PA statement for the warning. It also notes a separate incident of Israel seizing control of Nabi Samuel mosque. The article lacks official confirmation from US, Israeli, or Jordanian sources for the central claim, but the PA statement itself is a real, newsworthy event.

Punti chiave

• US and Israel are actively pursuing a new arrangement for Al-Aqsa Mosque that would terminate Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf authority. — Middle East Eye
• The plan would transform Al-Aqsa into a 'multi-faith centre' allowing equal Jewish access and formal group prayer. — Middle East Eye
• Israel would have major say over appointment of imams and approval of Friday sermon content. — Middle East Eye
• Palestinian Authority Jerusalem governorate warned the plan would have 'serious repercussions for security and stability'. — Middle East Eye
• Israel's civil administration seized control of Nabi Samuel mosque from Islamic Waqf on same day (26 May 2026). — Middle East Eye

Contesto

Article from Middle East Eye (26 May 2026) reports that the Palestinian Authority has warned against a reported US-Israeli plan to strip Jordan of its custodianship of Al-Aqsa Mosque. The plan, attributed to anonymous US officials, would allegedly transform the site into a multi-faith centre, give Israel control over appointments and sermons, and terminate the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf's authority. The PA's Jerusalem governorate called the plan a 'dangerous escalation' that would have 'serious repercussions for security and stability'. The article also notes that on the same day, Israel seized control of Nabi Samuel mosque from the Islamic Waqf. All claims about the US-Israel plan rely on anonymous sources; no official confirmation from US, Israeli, or Jordanian authorities is provided in the text. The topic requested ('Palestinians prepare for Eid al-Adha in Gaza amid Israeli bombardment') does not appear in this article.

Lettura DEO

Verdetto: Publishable with caveats: The central warning is real, but the plan's details require clearer attribution and should be flagged as unconfirmed.
Confidenza: 85/100

The article reports on a real, verifiable news event: the Palestinian Authority's official warning regarding a reported plan. The PA statement is directly quoted and sourced, making the core of the story fact-based. However, the existence and nature of the alleged US-Israeli plan are presented as fact but depend solely on anonymous sources, which lowers confidence. Additionally, the structured data's topic field is misleading, as the article content does not mention Eid al-Adha or Gaza bombardment. Despite these issues, the article is not fabricated or dangerously misleading; it is a piece of political reporting with sourcing limitations. Confidence is set at 85 to reflect the solid verifiability of the PA statement but with deductions for the heavy reliance on anonymous claims and the topic mismatch. Libre judge fallback via DeepSeek Gamma.

Cosa resta incerto

• Central claim about US-Israel plan relies entirely on anonymous US officials with no official confirmation or documentary evidence.
• No response or denial from US, Israeli, or Jordanian authorities included in the article.
• The article's topic (Eid al-Adha in Gaza) does not match the actual content (Al-Aqsa custodianship dispute).
