Jews are permitted to visit the site but not pray there, a prohibition supported by the mainstream Jewish Halakhic tradition.

There is no Jewish halachic prohibition against prayer on the Temple Mount. The Temple Mount arrangements between Israel and the Islamic Wakf are political in nature, note that the rule against prayer also applies to Christians.

Some ultra orthodox won't go on the mount for fear of inadvertently walking on top of a special part of the old temple.
