Of course there are only certain sections, and other preparations beforeanyone ascends.
The High Court of Justice did not issue a specific ruling last week regarding visiting the Temple Mount on Shabbat; however, in early April 2026, the court addressed wartime gathering restrictions that affected access to holy sites and demonstrations. [1, 2]
- Gathering Limits: The court increased the cap on gatherings at the Western Wall and the Temple Mount from 50 to 100–150 people under strict wartime and Home Front Command guidelines. [1, 2]
- Protests vs. Holy Sites: The session—which notably convened on a Saturday (Shabbat)—also permitted larger anti-government and anti-war protests (up to 600 people) in Tel Aviv, drawing criticism from coalition members over differential caps. [1, 2, 3]
- The Status Quo: Long-standing rules prohibiting non-Muslim prayer and restricting visiting days and hours on the Temple Mount remain governed by police discretion and the historic status quo rather than a new recent liberalization for Shabbat
