Growing concerns are emerging over the future of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque compound as Israeli nationalist groups increasingly challenge long-standing rules governing the site. The compound, known to Muslims as Al-Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount, is one of the holiest places in both religions.   Under the decades-old Status Quo arrangement, non-Muslims may visit the site but are not allowed to pray there. However, some Israeli politicians and activists have openly prayed at the compound and called for greater Jewish control. Palestinian, Jordanian and international officials warn that any change could trigger serious regional tensions and threaten stability in Jerusalem. (PC: BBC)
