Court reinstates police ban on Jewish man who prayed on Temple Mount
2021-10-09
[IsraelTimes] Moves comes after US reaches out to Jerusalem on ruling denounced as violating arrangements barring non-Moslem worship at the flashpoint holy site.
The Biden administration: firmly enforcing a return to the bad old days as a matter of principle.
A Jerusalem judge on Friday upheld a police order barring a Jewish man caught praying on the Temple Mount, reversing a lower court’s decision backing the man’s quiet supplication that critics said could have led to widespread unrest.

Friday’s ruling by the Jerusalem District Court came after Police Minister Omer Barlev appealed a magistrate’s decision Tuesday in the case and warned that the ruling could spark violent mostly peaceful protests, apparently under US pressure to uphold longstanding religious arrangements at the holy site. The police also appealed the lower court’s ruling, which was seen as tacitly approving Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount in a breach of decades of Israeli policy.
