I’m confused and I’m sure someone can clarify. I thought the Temple Mount was currently in the hands of the Palis (as is Bethlehem).
Is this referring to the Western Wall perhaps?
I have a friend that went to Israel last year. They were told that the Mount could be closed at any time by the Palis. She also said it was the only time she felt really threatened.
Whatever the case, my prayers are with Israel.
