Jerusalem's top Muslim cleric, Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, has been banned by police from entering the Temple Mount compound for six months following a sermon he delivered at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in late July. His lawyer stated that the sermon, which addressed the situation in Gaza and accused Israel of pursuing a starvation policy, did not contain any inappropriate content. The ban was imposed without interrogation or a hearing, and police have not commented on the decision. The Temple Mount remains a highly sensitive site, with recent actions by Israeli officials and ongoing tensions over access and prayer rights fueling further controversy between Israelis and Palestinians.
