"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to allow Zionist Knesset members to visit al-Aqsa Holy Mosque next week.
The news prompted calls by activists on social media asking Palestinians to also be present at the site in occupied east Al-Quds on Tuesday, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Thursday.
Earlier, AFP news agency had quoted an "Israeli" official as saying that members of the Knesset would be allowed to storm into Haram al-Sharif next week.
"In consultation with security officials, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to open the Temple Mount to MPs' visits, for one day at this stage, on Tuesday August 29," a member of Bibi's office, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
"The decision was taken in light of the improvement in the security situation at the site," he claimed. "Decisions on the issue will continue to be made in accordance with assessments of the security situation."
