In 2018 the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, funded the renovation of the mosque; Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth states that the local Jewish community and the Waqf "came to an agreement" that there would be no muezzin calling from the minaret. Sheikh Mazen Ahram, a Jerusalem Imam, says that the mosque's muezzin loudspeakers were confiscated by Israeli authorities in 1993, who subsequently prevented any announcements from the minaret. He also says that the land in front of the mosque, owned by the Islamic Waqf, was confiscated by Israel and converted into a car park, and that due to its location near the Jewish Quarter, users of the mosque have faced racist insults and harassment.
