Report: War cabinet sidelines Ben Gvir, rejects Ramadan Al Aqsa limits on Arab Israelis – Rejection follows Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh’s call for Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank to march to Al-Aqsa Mosque on the first day of holy month | The Times of Israel

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir will not be permitted to bar Arab Israelis from worshiping at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount on Ramadan, Israel’s war cabinet has ruled, according to a Hebrew media report Wednesday.
The Channel 12 report, which did not cite any specific sources, said the war cabinet — made up of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz, as well as several other ministers who serve as observers — also decided that it would be the sole body to make decisions regarding policy at the flashpoint site. This would effectively sideline the far-right national security minister, who said in mid-February that Palestinian residents of the West Bank should be barred from attending prayers at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during Ramadan. Ben Gvir is also reported to have sought to limit Arab Israeli visits.
