Israel’s High Court has given the government a final 90-day extension to address the long-running dispute over the southern prayer plaza at the Kosel.

The court ordered the state to submit its plans for the Ezrat Yisrael prayer area and access arrangements within 90 days of the formation of Israel’s 38th government.

The case follows petitions by Reform groups and Women of the Wall seeking changes to prayer arrangements at the site.

The decision increases pressure on Chareidi parties, which oppose changes that could affect traditional prayer arrangements at the Kosel. The government’s response could determine the next stage of the legal dispute.
