Israeli authorities have revoked entry permits for approximately 30 senior employees of the Islamic Waqf, the Jordanian-appointed body that administers Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem. The cancellations, effective June 1, 2026, target long-serving staff including the Waqf's senior treasurer and religious teachers, marking the latest in a series of restrictions that Palestinian officials say are designed to consolidate Israeli control over the mosque and reduce Palestinian presence there.
