On the 16 July, Israeli authorities reopened the Temple Mount, after placing metal detectors at the entrances to the compound, under protest from the site's Waqf authorities. A crisis spiraled leading to a weeklong stand-off, during which Israeli security agencies such as Shin Bet recommended their removal. The Waqf called on Muslims to protest outside of the compound instead of entering, with around 200 Muslims protesting outside on the 16th. Israeli authorities also announced the installation of security cameras outside the compound. Although the compound was reopened for Muslim access, Israeli police prevented Jews from entering the Temple mount complex under directions from Prime Minister Netanyahu. Clashes erupted outside the Temple mount later that day after a group of Palestinians attempted to enter with a casket containing a body. Jews were allowed in on the morning of the 17 July. Further clashes occurred on the night of the 17th, and Fatah called on the 18th for a day of rage in protest of the new security arrangements.
