In a one-day “trial” next week, members of Israel’s Knesset legislature will be allowed to ascend Har Habayis, the Israel Police announced Thursday.

“The decision was made in light of the improvement in the security situation at the compound,” the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said Wednesday.

The announcement came after two Members of Knesset attempted to enter the Har Habayis complex and were turned away by Israeli security forces.

“I’m here to protest the fact that the prime minister won’t enable police to allow us to enter the Temple Mount,” MK Yehuda Glick (Likud) told reporters at the holy site Wednesday, after he was denied entry.

Glick, a promoter of Jewish access to the Har Habayis, was shot and seriously wounded by a Palestinian terrorist in October 2014 as a result of his activism.

Jewish prayer is banned and Jewish visitation is limited at the Har Habayis, in accordance with the Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian status quo agreement at the sensitive holy site, which was reached after the 1967 Six-Day War.
