What is the ruling on those who travel to Jerusalem after the reconciliation between the Jews and the Palestinians?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I have a comment on the statementThe Shaykh : regarding the conference. If they make a reconciliation with the Jews, is it permissible for us to travel, for example, from here to Jerusalem or elsewhere? We know that if we enter this sphere, it is as if we have entered under their authority, as if we agree with it, or as if we have accepted this matter. May Allah reward you with good, if this happens, God forbid?

The Shaykh : Practically, this is the only possibility, because this entry is currently established on a solid foundation, even though they are still in their position of injustice, rebellion, and aggression. This factual situation cannot change if this so-called peace occurs, from a practical standpoint. Second, and this is the important point: does it follow, from a practical standpoint and not a mental one, that if someone like you or me enters a Muslim country that was previously forbidden to him, either absolutely or through routine or legal means or the like, then this entry is originally the right of the Muslim? He is now returning to his right from which he was prevented. Therefore, his enjoyment of this right does not imply that he came by an un-Islamic method, which is this non-Islamic peace. This is my answer to what you asked.
