Ramadan

Additionally, Palestinian media reported that police arrested Sheikh Muhammad Ali al-Abbasi, an imam of al-Aqsa Mosque, on Monday evening.

As Ramadan begins, Israel takes a cautious approach, managing security without escalating tensions, hoping for a month of prayer and peace.

For decades after 1967, the Temple Mount was defined by a simple rule: Jews could visit but not pray. Small but meaningful changes are quietly shifting that balance.
