The Jews returned to the Temple Mount: first group of ascends to the Temple Mount this morning
70 days after it was closed to Jewish groups and visitors, the mountain opened this morning (Sunday) in parallel with its free opening of Muslim prayer.
First group of Jews made their way to the Temple Mount this morning (Sunday), 70 days after the closure of the mountain due to the restrictions of the Corona virus.
The mountain was opened to Jews at the same time as most of the restrictions on Muslims entering and praying in the mountain area were lifted, which also came into effect this morning.
To remind, during the last 70 days, only a few dozen Muslim Waqf workers were allowed to enter the mountain area and pray there.
Facing the discrimination, Temple Mount activists Yehuda Etzion and Arnon Segal recently petitioned to allow them to allow a limited group to the Temple Mount, but their demand was rejected by High Court judges.
Last night, the Temple Mount Organization issued a statement saying, "From the Israeli police, the head of the Temple Mount organizers was informed that, with the update of the Corona regulations on the Temple Mount, it would re-open for Jewish groups to ascend, probably this Sunday." This morning, the first group of Jews ascended the mountain.
