The lawyer of the Central Rabbinate - New Sanhedrin Council, Aviad Fisouli, sent a letter to the Commissioner of the Occupation Police in Jerusalem, requesting clarification of the official policy that the new extremist Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, will follow, and requesting a direct hearing with the minister to clearly hear the demands of these groups. Then determine the position of the government and the occupation police regarding it.

Lawyer Faisoli identified 11 demands during the letter:

  1. Extending the hours of the Zionist incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque.
  2. Allowing all biblical prayers and rituals in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
  3. Opening the door for raids on Fridays and Saturdays, during which the occupation police currently closes the door for raids.
  4. Lifting any ban on bringing “sacred objects” into Al-Aqsa Mosque (these include prayer shawls, scrolls, hats, Torah scrolls, the Ark of the Covenant, trumpets of all kinds, and plant and animal offerings).
  5. Determine a location for a synagogue inside Al-Aqsa Mosque.
  6. End the police escort of intrusive groups, and let them roam as they please.
  7. Allowing Jews to enter Al-Aqsa from all gates (currently they enter through the Mugharibi Gate and leave through the Silsila Gate after a complete tour of Al-Aqsa).
  8. Not closing Al-Aqsa Mosque to Jews on any Islamic occasion.
  9. Declaring the “equal right” of all religions to Al-Aqsa.
  10. Stopping the deportations of Jews from Al-Aqsa.
  11. The doors of the Tanazyah Court Synagogue, currently under the control of the Ministry of War, were opened to all Jews (it is located in Bab al-Silsilah and has been transformed into a police station).

Faisoli had previously submitted a petition to the Supreme Occupation Court on September 8, 2022 on behalf of the “New Sanhedrin Council,” requesting that the occupation police be obligated to allow the entry of the shofar to be blown on Rosh Hashanah, and to bring in all other “sacred tools,” including the prayer shawl. “The tallit,” the black prayer scrolls “tefillin,” and the book of supplications and prayers “the siddur.”
