CWN Editor's Note: Israeli authorities have barred the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem from the Al-Aqsa mosque, the Muslim cleric’s lawyer has disclosed.
Muhammad Ahmad Hussein will not be allowed access to the Muslim holy site on the Temple Mount until January of next year. According to his lawyer, Israeli officials imposed the ban as punishment for remarks that the Grand Mufti had made in a sermon last Friday, decrying Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza.
