Israeli police have banned a top religious official from entering Occupied Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday.
Local sources confirmed that Sheikh Najeh Bkerat the deputy director of Muslim Endowments and Al-Aqsa Affairs was banned from the holy site for six months.
Sheikh Bkerat was earlier summoned for investigation before being banned access to al-Aqsa for six months.
Tension has mounted in Jerusalem last week in the wake of Israel’s restrictions on Palestinian access into Al-Aqsa Mosque during the holy month of Ramadan triggering angry Palestinian protests.
