Channel 12 reports that the war cabinet has decided against imposing sweeping restrictions against Arab Israelis at the Temple Mount on Ramadan next month.
The report — which does not cite any sources — says that the war cabinet has also decided that it will be the sole body making decisions regarding policy at the flashpoint Temple Mount on Ramadan, sidelining far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
Police will be tasked with determining the cap for Muslim worshipers at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif compound based strictly on safety concerns.
As in years past, restrictions on specific Muslim worshipers will be determined strictly based on Shin Bet intelligence.
The report says that 50,000 to 60,000 worshipers will be allowed at the site initially, and the number will be expanded if there are no security incidents.
