July 17, 2017 -- Day Two of Muslim Protest


Although Israeli authorities reopened the Temple Mount on Sunday, Muslim authorities and worshipers refused to enter through the new security measures.  On Monday, a number of Muslims again boycotted and refused to go through the metal detectors to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.  Instead, they prayed outside near the Lions Gate in protest.  It appears that a group of Palestinians who had gathered for prayer threw stones at the police and where turned away.  It also appears that for the first time Jewish visitors had access to the Temple Mount without the Islamic Waqf authorities present.
