Israel bars Grand Mufti of Jerusalem from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque for a week

Israeli authorities have issued a week-long ban on the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque, with the possibility of an extension. 

Speaking to the local Wafa news agency, Muhammad Ahmad Hussein said he was summoned by Israeli intelligence for an interrogation. 

The ban follows a sermon he lead on Friday at the mosque, where he condemned Israel's siege and starvation of Gaza's population.
