Israeli occupation authorities on Sunday, October 4, 2026, banished Jerusalemite Khaled Abu Tayeh from the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque for a renewable week, after summoning him for interrogation. The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in occupied Jerusalem reported the decision. This banishment comes in the context of what the article describes as an escalating occupation policy against Jerusalemites, which has affected hundreds of citizens in recent months, in an attempt to restrict Palestinian presence inside and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In recent days, occupation authorities imposed administrative detention on three Jerusalemites, including Jerusalemite writer and political analyst Rasim Obeidat (67 years old). They also renewed the administrative detention of Islamic Waqf Department employees Mahdi Ubeisan (Al-Abbasi) and Abdul Rahman Al-Sharif for an additional two months.
