The march is also intended to remove the Temple Mount as a tool for terrorist incitement against Israel, among other goals, said the Beyadenu organization, one of the sponsors of the event.

The marchers specifically are demanding:
– The removal of the Jordanian Islamic Waqf Authority which controls the Temple Mount and is an open supporter of Hamas;
– A memorial service be held for all soldiers who have fallen in the Oct. 7 war, and prayers for the safe return of hostages; and
– The application of Jewish sovereignty over the Temple Mount compound, with the restoration of human dignity and sense to all those that pray there, including Jews.

The march begins at IDF Square at 7:30 pm Thursday night, with the route taking marchers through the Damascus gate and into the Old City of Jerusalem, where the marchers will complete the event at the Western Wall.

Additional sponsors of the event include Torah Lechima, Pitom Kam Ha’Am, Achdut Israelit, Ha’Emet Ha’Yehudit, Zo Artzeinu, among others.
