Since the Israeli occupation of the city in 1967, any Muslim entrance into Jerusalem has become strictly controlled. Even today, most Muslims who are not from Jerusalem itself are prohibited from entering the holy city and praying in the al-Aqsa Mosque.

These photos show Al-Quds city in the 1930s, when Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived peacefully side by side inside its gates.
