Police: Jews will be able to visit Temple Mount when Waqf reopens site
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israel Police say Jews will be allowed to visit the Temple Mount when its Jordanian custodians reopen the holy site to Muslim worshipers next week.
The police are responding to a request from attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir and Temple Mount activists.
The site, the holiest in Judaism and third most sacred in Islam, has been shuttered due to the pandemic.
Jews are usually allowed the visit the site but are banned from praying there.
