Hebrew University Students To Tour Har HaBayit

The student union of Hebrew University is planning a tour of Har HaBayit today. They promote it by saying:
בואו לבקר במקום בו יצחק כמעט הועלה לעולה, היכן ששלמה בנה את בית המקדש הראשון לפני 3,000 שנה, המקום בו הורדוס בנה את בית המקדש השני,  והרחיב את חצרותיו לאיפה שהיום נמצא מסגד אל אקצה, ובעיקר- בואו להבין על מה כל הרעש.


Come visit the place where Isaac was almost sacrificed as an "olah", where Solomon built the First Temple 3000 years ago, where Herod built the Second Temple and expanded its courtyards to where today includes the Al Aqsa Mosque, and mainly come to understand what all the fuss is about.

I wonder if the Waqf, or the Israeli police, will let them have a quiet tour or if they will be harassed by the police and if the Waqf will make trouble and threaten to riot.
