It is important to note that the mass gathering could exacerbate the situation of corona morbidity among the Arab sector, which is already difficult.
According to corona morbidity data in East Jerusalem, all Arab neighborhoods in the capital are red according to traffic light calculations.
Another worrying fact is that most of those newly infected with the Corona virus in East Jerusalem are young people up to the age of 30, many of whom are not vaccinated and can lead to widespread spread of the Corona plague.
The chairman of the Lech Yerushalayim organization, Maor Tzemach, stated that "Israel must apply the green sign at the entrance to prayers on the Temple Mount. The combination of the low immunization rate in East Jerusalem and mass prayers on the Temple Mount could lead to a resurgence of the corona in Jerusalem. "
