Fueling fears of an escalation, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he would halt security ties with Israel until it scraps the walk-through gates installed at entrances to the mosque plaza after two police guards were shot dead on 14 July.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to convene his security cabinet at 7.30pm to weigh alternatives.
However, his right-wing government is wary of being seen to yield to pressure over the site, which Jews revere as the vestige of their two ancient temples and which was among areas of East Jerusalem that Israel captured in a 1967 war and annexed as its capital in a move not recognised internationally.
"They (metal detectors) will remain. The murderers will never tell us how to search the murderers," Tzachi Hanegbi, Israeli minister for regional development, told Army Radio.
"If they (Palestinians) do not want to enter the mosque, then let them not enter the mosque."
