Israel's police has authorized far right Jewish activists to march on the Temple Mount/ Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Thursday evening to demand an end to control by the Waqf, the Islamic endowment which administers the holy site.
The activists are calling to "restore full Jewish control over the Temple Mount and Jerusalem," against Waqf control that has traditionally declared strong opposition to any Jewish religious expression there.
The march, limited to 200 participants, is slated to follow the Flag Parade route through the Damascus Gate and the Muslim Quarter.
The mount is home of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the location of the Jewish temples in antiquity.
