On Ascending to the Temple Mount Area

THE KEY WORD IS “ENTIRE"

 "Rabbi Yosef opened the letter in response to the question of whether the ban on entering the Temple Mount agrees with the opinion of all rabbinic circles. "We mentioned in the lesson the great Rabbis Moshe Feinstein, Rabbi Yosef Shalom Eliashiv, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, the Steifler Rabbi, and Rabbi Shach, who emphatically prohibited entry to the entire Temple Mount area, and is this the opinion of all rabbinical circles?" Rabbi Yosef presented the question.

I don’t think there is any dispute here; all the Rabbis believe there are certain areas that are not to be visited, to be on the safe side.

The Religious Zionist Rabbis allow going up in certain areas, after proper preparation.

Why has this become a major issue again?
