90,000 Muslims Ascend Temple Mount for Ramadan Prayers

Approximately 90,000 Muslims, including thousands from Judea and Samaria, ascended the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City for the first mass prayers of Ramadan on Friday morning, according to the Jordanian-appointed Waqf trust, which administers the Islamic edifices on the holy site.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office announced on Thursday night that government ministers “approved the recommendation of the security establishment for the entry of a limited number of Muslim worshippers from Judea and Samaria to the Temple Mount on the Fridays during Ramadan, in a similar format to that which existed last year.”
