The Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif will be closed for three weeks because of the soaring number of the coronavirus. The decision was made by the Islamic Waqf earlier this week and will go into effect this Friday. The closure will coincide with Israel’s three-week national lockdown. The Israeli quarantine will go into effect on the eve of the Feast of Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year). Rumor has it that if Israelis are allowed up to tour the site during this time the Waqf will reopen the mount.
