Occupation police alter Al-Aqsa entry rules
The coverage reveals that the changes occurring at the Al-Aqsa Mosque are moving toward facilitating Jewish participation in prayer within the site. The occupation police have gradually begun to tolerate public prayer, collective prostration, and the introduction of prayer books—activities that were previously restricted to visits by non-Muslims without religious rituals. Since 2024, daily Jewish prayer practices have been observed in the eastern area, with permission to use religious texts and books inside the courtyards, and the visiting hours for non-Muslims have been expanded to approximately six and a half hours per day. In August 2024, the police allowed the full texts of prayer books to be brought into the mosque, and in 2025, public prayers were performed by Ben Gvir. The practices have further expanded at the beginning of 2026, allowing more religious tools and books, indicating clear on-the-ground shifts that contradict official statements affirming that the "status quo" has remained unchanged.
