Israeli authorities prevented thousands of Christians from the West Bank from attending Palm Sunday services in Jerusalem.

According to Wafa news agency, Israeli forces blocked thousands of worshippers travelling from the West Bank from entering Jerusalem. Regulations require Palestinians to obtain special permits to enter religious sites in the Old City, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Access to the city was severely restricted, with only a limited number of Christians - mostly residents of Jerusalem and Palestinian citizens of Israel - able to attend services in the Old City.
