The Israeli occupation police who have no jurisdiction over the Aqsa Mosque also issue or extend arbitrary entry bans ordering Jerusalemite citizens and figures not to enter the Islamic holy site for weeks or months.

Recently after the Islamic Awqaf authority in Jerusalem reopened the Aqsa Mosque to Muslim worshipers following its closure for over two months as a measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus the Israeli police intentionally intensified the banishment of Palestinian citizens from the Islamic holy site.

During recent weeks Aqsa entry ban orders were issued against dozens of Jerusalemite figures Aqsa employees and activists.

Such illegal policy is believed to be part of practices aimed at allowing Jewish settlers to perform rituals without Palestinian opposition and paving the way for the Israeli occupation state to control the holy site.
