Israeli occupation authorities have issued 800 expulsion orders barring Palestinians from Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque since the beginning of 2026, according to Shehab Wire citing data from the Palestinian Information Center "Ma'ta." The orders target Jerusalem residents, activists, and Palestinians from the West Bank and areas under Israeli control.
The expulsion decisions restrict Palestinian access to the holy site and the city. Authorities have deployed the orders against civilians and those engaged in political activity across occupied Palestinian territories, limiting movement and presence in Jerusalem without formal legal proceedings in many cases.
