The US-Iran ceasefire agreement has led to the re-opening of holy sites in occupied East Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa compound, allowing worshippers to visit once more, and restrictions on movement have been eased around the site, marking a significant development following weeks of heightened tensions between Israeli officials and Palestinian authorities. This move was made by Israeli far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, who described himself as 'master of the house' in reference to his position over Al-Aqsa. The agreement's impact is seen as a potential easing of hostilities after several days of violence in the area.
