Arab Voices Raise Concern Over Growing Jewish Visits to Temple Mount Ahead of Sukkot Arab media voices are raising concerns ahead of Sukkot over the growing number of Jews visiting the Temple Mount and Jewish religious practices at the site. An infographic published by Palestinian outlet Al-Qastal claims the number of Jewish visitors during the holiday rose from 5,980 in 2024 to 7,119 in 2025. The publication also highlighted attempts to bring the Four Species associated with Sukkot onto the Temple Mount. Editor’s note: The Four Species, lulav, etrog, hadass and aravah, are central to the Jewish observance of Sukkot. The Temple Mount is Judaism’s holiest site.
