Israel, with United States involvement, is taking steps to change the status‑quo at the Al‑Aqsa Mosque compound, including proposals to designate the site as a multi‑faith centre and to end Jordanian custodianship. The move comes as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was not aware of reports of a U.S.–Israel plan concerning Al‑Aqsa, according to religionnews.com, which also noted that the custodial agreement has been eroding for decades.

In the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, Israel has reduced Palestinian municipal control over planning and construction, scrapping a prior deal and stripping authority, a change the Hebron mayor warned breaches existing agreements. According to almonitor, Israel also approved the expansion of a Jewish school for settlers in the centre of Hebron.

Separately, Dawn reported that Israeli settlers torched two mosques in the occupied West Bank.

These developments were reported across multiple news outlets and reflect ongoing adjustments to administrative and religious arrangements in the contested areas.
