Israeli police suspended visits by Jews and Christians to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Wednesday’s decision came because of rising Palestinian anger over the visits, leading to fears of violence. Police began allowing such visits in recent weeks for the first time since Palestinian authorities closed the site to non-Muslims nearly three years ago, at the start of the intifada.
