Former Knesset Member Yehuda Glick was banned from entering the Temple Mount complex and its surroundings until March 2027, following an incident where he recited a prayer for the recovery of the son of an ambassador. Glick ascended the Temple Mount and said the "Mi Sheberach" prayer for Neriah Leiter, the son of Ambassador [name not specified in article], for his recovery. Following this, police officers visited Glick at his home and summoned him for a hearing. The commander of the Jerusalem district subsequently issued an order prohibiting his entry to the site, citing "danger" as the reason.
The order stated that Glick "will not enter, will not stay, and will not be found in the area of the Temple Mount and its approaches." The decision was made to "prevent serious harm to life or property," which the article interprets as implying that a Jewish prayer could cause such harm. The report notes that Glick's prayer occurred despite differing halachic opinions on praying at the site, and that the police deemed his presence there a security risk.
