Police in Jerusalem are preparing for more violence in Jerusalem and will be on high alert during today’s annual Succot Jerusalem march, which 70,000 people are expected to attend.
Access to the Temple Mount will be restricted to Muslim women and to Muslim men over the age of 50.
Jordan is said to have been in talks with Israel over allowing Jews to visit the Temple Mount, and is said to have asked the Israeli government to stop access indefinitely until the situation is calmer, according to reports in Ha'aretz.
The precautions come after new waves of violence in Jerusalem. The unrest began when police were called after Charedi men praying at the Mount of Olives had rocks thrown at them by a group of Arabs.
