The new guidelines issued by Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein aim to regulate how MPs might visit the sacred site of the Temple Mount, sacred to both Muslims and Jews.
The new guidelines require Jewish MPs to enter the site via the Mughrabi Bridge, which is the only path open to non-Muslims who wish to visit the Temple Mount. Arab deputies are invited to enter via the Lions Gate, referred to in the guidelines by its "Arab name" door of the tribes ".
The visits must be announced to the police 24 hours before their execution and no speeches or interviews with the media are allowed during these, even at the doors of the site itself.
It is also forbidden to take part in meetings held in the premises of Wakf [the Islamic authority that oversees the al-Aksa compound] or to follow visiting dignitaries, whether they are foreign or domestic.
The Mughrabi bridge is so named because it is built on the only surviving house of the former Mughrabi (Moroccan) district. Established in 1193 by the second Ayyubid Emir of Damascus Al-Afdal ibn Salah ad-Din, the district was destroyed in 1967 by the state of Israel to create the modern square in front of the Western Wall.
