A dispute between the Bennett government and an Israeli court over Jewish prayers at Al-Aqsa
Last night, Israel reconfirmed a long-standing arrangement with the Islamic authorities that prevents Jews from praying in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, in refusal to a lower-level Israeli court decision that questioned the legitimacy of police actions against violators.
Three Jewish minors challenged the decision to prevent them from entering the Old City for 15 days because they performed Jewish rituals inside the compound.
A court ruled in their favor the day before yesterday.
The police argued that these actions breached their duties and threatened public order.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said she would appeal the ruling to the highest-level Jerusalem District Court.
"There is no change, and no change is planned in the status quo" on the Temple Mount, he added in a statement.
