Israel's police has authorized far right Jewish activists to march on the Temple Mount/ Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Thursday evening to demand an end to control by the Waqf, the Islamic endowment which administers the holy site.

The activists are calling to "restore full Jewish control over the Temple Mount and Jerusalem," against Waqf control that has traditionally declared strong opposition to any Jewish religious expression there.

The march, limited to 200 participants, is slated to follow the Flag Parade route through the Damascus Gate and the Muslim Quarter.

The mount is home of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the location of the Jewish temples in antiquity.

The demonstration, which will coincide with the first night of Hanukkah, is being billed as the Maccabi March—a nod to the Hasmonean revolt against the Seleucids and the Hellenized Jewish elite in ancient Judea, culminating in the rededication of the Holy Temple.

“We won’t win this war only in Gaza,” Beyadenu, one of the nine groups organizing the march, stated in a video on its Facebook page railing against “the Nazis and their friends in the Waqf.”

“If there is any provocation more dangerous, more incendiary and more likely to trigger an eruption of violence in East Jerusalem and/or the West Bank and/or the Lebanese border, I can't think of one,” Daniel Seidemann, a Jerusalem attorney specializing in the geopolitics of contemporary Jerusalem, tweeted on Monday.
He also noted that “this is precisely the route that thousands of ultranationalist religious marauders took last May.”
