"Israeli Police Prepare for Peaceful Friday Prayers Amid Tensions at Al-Aqsa Mosque"

Israeli authorities have blocked thousands of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank from reaching the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem for prayer during Ramadan, leading to mounting tensions. Tight restrictions, including age and permit requirements, have made the site inaccessible to the vast majority of Palestinians, sparking anger and creating high tension. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "deceiving the world" by imposing additional measures to limit access, and called for international intervention to uphold the right to worship. Despite the restrictions, worshippers continue to travel to the mosque, with the preacher emphasizing that there is "no room for compromise on Al-Aqsa."
