Over 4,200 Jewish pilgrims have visited the Temple Mount so far during the Sukkot holiday.
The statement came as a response to a video circulating online of Orthodox Jews spitting on Christians in Jerusalem's Old City.
The more than-16,000 km. flight will be run by Fiji Airways, which will be making the airline’s first-ever landing in Israel.
The Old City’s Dung Gate complex was upgraded up to the entrance to the Western Wall.
The terrorist was apprehended by police at the scene. A second person suffered from minor stab wounds in the attack.
Orian Ben Khalifa had reported that she had been arrested because 25-year-old Hala Salim had assaulted her by pushing her, scratching her face, and pulling her hair.
Police officers and a number of worshipers on the Temple Mount scuffled after the incident, according to Palestinian reports.
