Trump's Plan for Al-Aqsa Mosque
By R.G. Uxton | June 1, 2026
Of the many outrages that have defined American foreign policy toward the Middle East, few have been as deliberate and as fraught as the reported Trump administration plan to dismantle the Islamic Waqf at the Al‑Aqsa Mosque compound. According to a joint investigation by Middle East Eye, citing American, Jordanian, Palestinian, Gulf, and Western sources, the United States and Israel are "actively working" on a new arrangement to terminate the century‑old Hashemite custodianship of the third‑holiest site in Islam. The reported scheme would replace the Waqf—the Jordanian‑run Islamic trust that has administered the Haram al‑Sharif since the early twentieth century—with an Israeli‑appointed body tasked with redefining the sacred enclosure as a "multi‑faith centre." Under the plan, Jews would receive "equal access" to the compound and would be formally permitted to conduct large‑group prayers on the esplanade; Israel would gain decisive influence over the appointment of imams, mosque administrators, and even the content of Friday sermons.
The proposal stands as an unprecedented assault on the Hashemite Kingdom's historic role—a role anchored in international treaties, including the 1994 Israel‑Jordan peace treaty, which states in Article 9 that "Israel respects the present special role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Muslim Holy shrines in Jerusalem." According to the plan, the Al‑Aqsa Mosque complex would be transformed into a "multi‑faith centre," allowing Jews "equal access" to the site and formally permitting large‑group Jewish prayer. It is being pushed not by diplomats grounded in international law, but by two American Zionists whose ideological fervor and financial entanglements render them wholly incapable of acting as honest brokers. The result is a scheme that would not only inflame the Middle East but also seal the Trump administration's legacy as an instrument of Israeli maximalism.
Yet the full measure of this outrage cannot be understood without naming three additional dimensions of the crisis: the long‑term Zionist project to establish Israel as the master of the Muslim world, the perfidy of Kushner and Huckabee—men whose dual loyalties and theological extremism amount to a betrayal of their own government’s ostensible responsibilities—and the toothless silence of Arab powers, who possess the economic and diplomatic leverage to stop this plan cold but have instead chosen complicity, cowardice, or quiet consultation.
The Grand Strategy: Israel's Bid for Mastery Over the Muslim World
The assault on Al‑Aqsa is not an isolated incident. It is the latest expression of a long‑standing Zionist project to establish Israel's undisputed hegemony over the Middle East—and, by extension, over the broader Muslim world. Since its founding, Zionism has harbored far‑reaching ambitions for the holy site. As one scholarly study explains, "the al‑Aqsa Mosque/Temple Mount became a focal point for the Zionists with the annexation of the old city. Accordingly, they made plans and actions regarding the al‑Aqsa Mosque," with "different brands of Zionism" all "influenced by the religious perspective toward the al‑Aqsa Mosque/Temple Mount." These plans, rooted in both Jewish and Christian Zionist theology, envision nothing less than the gradual erasure of the site's Islamic character and its replacement with a "Jewish Temple."
In recent years, this hegemonic ambition has become increasingly overt. Following the 2023 war on Gaza, Israel "has pursued an expansive, revisionist strategy to establish undisputed regional hegemony," seeking to create a new "'Middle East' characterized by an expansionist agenda aimed at establishing undisputed Israeli hegemony over the region." The normalization framework of the Abraham Accords has not only cemented Israel's regional dominance but also shielded its escalating violence in Gaza, Iran, and Syria from meaningful accountability. The Al‑Aqsa plan, then, is the logical culmination of this drive for mastery: if Israel can seize control of Islam's third‑holiest site, it will have symbolically and physically subjugated the entire Muslim world.
This is the real agenda of Jared Kushner, Mike Huckabee, and the Trump administration. They are not peacemakers; they are instruments of a grand strategy that seeks to remake the Middle East in Israel's image, with Washington acting as the enforcer. And the Arab world, having been seduced by the promise of normalization, is now watching helplessly as its most sacred trust is ripped away.
The Perfidy of Jared Kushner: Financial Entanglements and Blurred Loyalties
The reported champion of this reckless plan is Jared Kushner, the president's son‑in‑law and a man who, despite having no official diplomatic portfolio, appears to wield immense influence over Middle East policy. While American foreign policy is meant to be conducted by accountable, confirmed officials accountable to Congress and the Constitution, Kushner's role has systematically blurred the line between family business and foreign policy.
Kushner's advocacy on behalf of Israeli maximalist positions is inseparable from his financial interests. The Kushner family's charitable foundation has for years donated generously to West Bank settlements—most notably Beit El, a notorious settlement built on land near Ramallah that was confiscated by the Israeli military in the 1970s from impoverished Palestinian farmers, many of whose families still hold original deeds. The Kushner Foundation gave $20,000 to the group American Friends of Beit El Yeshiva, an organization that supports projects in the ultra‑conservative settlement. David Friedman, Trump's former bankruptcy lawyer and ambassador to Israel, served as the president of the same foundation. When Kushner pushes for the dismantling of the Waqf, he is not acting as a neutral broker; he is acting as a man whose family's business partners include the very settlers who stand to gain from the Judaization of the Haram al‑Sharif.
Moreover, Kushner’s personal relationship with former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu—who was a frequent overnight guest at the Kushner home during Jared’s boyhood—blurs the line between family friendship and foreign policy to the point of erasure. As an Orthodox Jew educated in Jewish schools, Kushner has been instructed to protect Israel and assure the survival of the Jewish people. But there is a difference between ethnic solidarity and using the machinery of American power to advance a foreign government's maximalist agenda. When Kushner has declared that calls for a ceasefire in Lebanon are a "mistake" and that Israel should "finish its work," he reveals himself not as a diplomat but as an auxiliary of the Israeli war cabinet. The Al‑Aqsa proposal is simply the latest expression of a worldview in which the United States has no independent interests in the Middle East—only the interest of transferring sovereignty and custodianship from Muslims to Zionist Jews, regardless of the consequences.

If there is a "brain drain" going on with Israelis in the tech sector leaving Israel, will there remain enough brains to take Saudi Arabia and the entire Middle East?
