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.
Jerusalem. That's the holy city to the Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
The Fourth Crusade attacked the city of Zara in 1202, not to rid it of Muslim influence, but because the city had refused to aid the crusaders on their journey to Jerusalem. The attack on Zara was a diversion from the original goal of conquering Muslim-controlled Jerusalem.
Jews believe that Jerusalem, Israel is their holiest city. Muslims have three holy cities: Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem.
There is really only one answer: Muslims expect the world to give them better treatment then that which they would give to others.
Israel has had access to all of Jerusalem ever since June 7, 1967, when Israeli paratroopers took the Old City of Jerusalem. I can envision no situation where Israel would give up the right to access Jerusalem, even though the Taba Summit Agreement (which was not singed) in 2000 proposed giving East Jerusalem and most of the Old City to the Palestinian Authority, but even that would have required the Palestinians to give Israelis the right to access the city.
Jerusalem, to the Muslim, Judaic, and Christian religions.
The Saladin conquerors of Jerusalem cut off access to the city after the Christians welched on a deal they had made together. The Pope was angry, and called for the First Crusade.
Jerusalem is a city.
It's Jerusalem. It's very important to the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religions.
Jerusalem, which is divided into the Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Armenian quarters.
The Temple was in Jerusalem, and its retaining wall can still be seen there.
Pope Urban II called on Europeans to join a Crusade against the Muslim Turks who controlled the city of Jerusalem and refused to allow Christians access to the holy sites located there. This First Crusade was called in 1095 when he urged Christians to free Jerusalem.
