Israel Police to Deploy Around Al-Aqsa for Ramazan, Palestinians Report Curbs
Israeli police will deploy thousands daily at Al-Aqsa Mosque to manage Ramadan crowds amid Palestinian claims of restricted access and permit limits, officials said.
- On Monday, Israeli police said they would deploy in force around the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for Ramadan, with forces operating day and night across the site, senior Jerusalem police officer Arad Braverman said.
- The Palestinian Jerusalem Governorate said Israeli authorities blocked the Jordanian-run Islamic Waqf from Ramadan preparations while police recommended issuing 10,000 permits, with age limits mirroring last year.
- During Ramadan, the compound sees hundreds of thousands of Palestinian worshippers, with visitors who are Jewish allowed to visit but not pray, under long-standing arrangements.
- Arad Braverman reiterated Monday that no changes were planned, while the Israeli government says it is committed to maintaining the status quo despite Palestinians fearing erosion.
- In recent years, the Al-Aqsa compound, a central Palestinian symbol, faced challenges from Jewish ultranationalists including far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir in 2024 and 2025.
