Is it safe for a Muslim to visit Jerusalem?

My partner is an Arabic Muslim, and we want to visit Jerusalem. However, we are aware of the feuds between Israelis and surrounding Arab countries. Would it be safe for him to travel through Israel and go sightseeing in Jerusalem?

It is definitely safe for a Muslim to travel in Israel and Jerusalem. A Muslim tourist in Jerusalem can go sightseeing like any Christian or Jews tourist could. You’ll find some neighborhoods are predominantly Jewish, some are predominantly Muslim, and others are mixed. But Muslims can safely travel freely throughout Jerusalem and Israel.
