Israel eases restrictions on Palestinians during Ramadan - Haaretz

Israel eases restrictions on Palestinians during Ramadan, Haaretz, 10/10/2005

Israel on Monday announced a series of measures to ease restrictions on the Palestinian population during the holy fast month of Ramadan, which began last week.

The steps include granting permission for up to 4,0000 Muslim worshippers over the age of 45 to visit the mosques on the Temple Mount for Friday prayers "without the need for permits."

Israel has also authorized admission to East Jerusalem for 450 members of the Muslim clergy, as well as 150 Christian and 400 Muslim educators.

A statement by the Foreign Ministry expresses Israel's awareness of "the sensitivity of the Ramadan period," saying that every effort will be made to respect the holiday.
