Netanyahu's coalition pressures to close Al-Aqsa Mosque to Muslims and tighten access control
A report in Yedioth Ahronoth reveals increasing pressures within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition to make changes to the status quo of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. These proposed changes include imposing restrictions on Muslim entry and implementing measures to strengthen the presence of settlers and Jewish extremists in the Haram. The suggestions involve tightening security controls, expanding the powers of security agencies, and possibly temporarily closing the mosque. While these measures aim to enhance security, critics argue that they threaten the historical and legal status of the Haram, raising risks of escalating tensions in Jerusalem and the region.
