Ramadan: Israel will allow access to the Esplanade des Mosques like in “previous years”. This esplanade is the third holiest place in Islam.

Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called last month for a ban on access to Palestinians from the occupied West Bank during Ramadan. US President Joe Biden warned on Tuesday of a “very dangerous” situation particularly in Jerusalem if hostilities continued in Gaza during Ramadan, as the war rages in the Gaza Strip.
