Trains in and out of Jerusalem will continue to run until at least 1:30 p.m., according to police, in response to a large ultra-Orthodox prayer rally planned in the city. This decision comes after earlier plans by Israel Railways to close Jerusalem's only train station in the afternoon, which sparked criticism from ultra-Orthodox lawmakers who said it would hinder access to the event. The extension was made following a situational assessment by senior police officials and the national security minister. Further train service beyond 1:30 p.m. may be considered if organizers and railway staff can ensure crowd control at the station.
