Jerusalem: Jewish prayers on Esplanade ‘still banned’

(ANSAmed) – TEL AVIV, MAY 26 – The district court of Jerusalem yesterday overturned a sentence of the court of peace which seemed to allow, at least implicitly, the recitation of Jewish prayers on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, that is, on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem . Accepting the opinion of the police and security services, reports Haaretz, judge Einat Ebman-Muller ruled that the limitations imposed so far on Jewish visitors remain unaltered, “also given the particular sensitivity of the place”.

A few days ago, after the sentence of the court of peace (concerning the removal of three young Jews caught while reciting a prayer on the Esplanade), Prime Minister Naftali Bennett had published an official note in which – to allay the apprehensions of Palestinians and Jordanians – he reiterated that “Israel has not changed and does not intend to change the status quo on the Temple Mount in the future”.

The district court’s ruling is part of efforts to prevent incidents with the Palestinian population when thousands of Jewish nationalists will parade in East Jerusalem on Sunday on the anniversary of the unification of the two sectors of the city following the 1967 Six-Day War. (ANSAmed).
