On the second day of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, an estimated 250 Jewish visitors entered the Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem. The visit took place under the protection of Israeli police, which is standard procedure for Jewish groups visiting the site, a location held sacred by both Jews and Muslims.

Following the visit, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the presence of the Jewish groups at the site. Jordan, which maintains a special role as the custodian of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, alleged that Israeli authorities prevented Muslim worshippers from accessing the compound while the Jewish visitors were present. The ministry called for international condemnation of the incident, characterizing the actions as a violation of the status quo at the site.

Israeli authorities have not issued a detailed rebuttal to the specific claims regarding the exclusion of Muslim worshippers, though they maintain that such visits are conducted in accordance with security protocols. The Temple Mount remains a frequent flashpoint for regional tensions, with the management of access and prayer rights often serving as a source of diplomatic friction between Israel, Jordan, and Palestinian leadership.
