The weekend after Rosh Hashanah was marred by violence in Israel, with riots in the Shuafat refugee camp and in the At-Tur and Issawiya neighborhoods, Molotov cocktails that wounded border police fighters in Jabel Mukaber, Palestinians wounded and arrested, another attack on the Jerusalem light rail, and rocket fire in the south.
A draft proposal for changing the conditions under which security forces can use live fire in events where people's lives are at risk is expected to be presented for approval at Sunday's meeting.
The Prime Minister's Office clarified that Israel is dedicated to preserving the status quo, and it was decided that entrance to the Temple Mount area will be restricted to those above 40 years old on weekends, in order to lower chances of violence.
