Answer 1

Jews do not prevent access to the old city of Jerusalem by anyone for religious purposes.

Answer 2

The Israeli government does not ban Muslim access to the Old City of Jerusalem as a general policy. However, as Palestinian militancy and violence is roughly coordinated with the Jewish holidays (so as to inflict the largest numbers of civilian casualties), ingress to Jerusalem from the Palestinian Territories is much more difficult during the Jewish holidays. There are times when Muslims younger than 40 years old have been prevented completely from entering Jerusalem from the Palestinian Territories. Israeli Muslims have never had such a problem.

Will Israel have access to Jerusalem?

Israel has had access to all of Jerusalem ever since June 7, 1967, when Israeli paratroopers took the Old City of Jerusalem.
