Israel allows 100 worshippers at Western Wall

JERUSALEM: Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday authorized up to 100 worshippers to pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, up from 50 since the start of the war with Iran, according to a ruling seen by AFP. Responding to a petition by an NGO, the court said the “number of worshippers permitted on the Western Wall plaza will be increased to 100 people, instead of the previous limit of 50,” adding this would take effect immediately. The judges gave the state until April 7 to justify its “protection policy regarding holy sites” in general.
