Abstract :The city of Bayt al-Maqdis under the Zionist occupation is subjected daily to many violations that affect the legal and humanitarian aspects of the city. The policies of the occupier have affected everything in the holy city and their direct goal to Judaize everything even the graves. This catastrophically threatens to erase the identity of the city. If nothing is done, the holy city and its historical heritage and civilisation will seek to exist. This paper comes to uncover the dangers facing the Muslim Awqaf in the city. Judaisation has been applied systematically since the occupation of the holy city which had been planned many decades earlier. The researcher analytically traces the subject matter and collected the data from numerous sources and reached a set of results summarised in the following points: Judaisation is the main objective of all the plans and policies practiced by the occupation in the city, and seeks to erase all traces of non-Jews in the holy city and make them look purely Jewish. The policy of Judaisation had resulted in three types of Judaisation: Urban, demographic and cultural. The city is characterised as a city of Awqaf, and it varies from other Awqaf in the Muslim world with several features. The Awqaf of Bayt al-Maqdis has been subjected to repeated attacks, which caused the destruction of many of them, and the seizure of others. The purpose of the Judaisation scheme against the Awqaf of the city had been aimed to erase the most important Islamic identify that has characterised the city for centuries and to replace it with a Jewish one to lay claim to the holy city. Moreover, the Al-Aqsa Mosque is considered one of the most important Islamic Waqf in the city of Bayt al-Maqdis. Therefore, it is subjected to relentless attempts of Judaisation, including attempts to destroy it from burning it and carrying out extensive excavations beneath it, threatening to undermine its foundations.Keywords : Zionist Occupation, Bayt al-Maqdis, Judisation, Waqf
