With violence embroiling the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, one Israeli politician chose instead to run from the temple. President Reuven Rivlin on Thursday tweeted his none-too-flattering score of 2,924 on the popular mobile game Temple Run.
The president’s tweet, from his personal account @rubirivlin, was sent out at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, when he was scheduled to be visiting the home of Druze community leader Sheikh Muafak Tarif, to mark the Eid al-Adha festival.
The tweet was quickly deleted, and shortly afterward the president tweeted in Hebrew that his account had apparently been hacked and that he was in fact devoted to Solitaire.
The president’s office said in a statement that “the matter was under investigation, and it would appear that a hack was made which was taken care of.”
Still, fortunately for Rivlin, his account did better in fleeing demon monkeys in Temple Run than former minister Eli Yishai, who earlier this year tweeted from his official account an even more meager score of 1,539 points.
I got 1,539 points while escaping from demon monkeys. Beat that! http://t.co/VTY1FWhs9x #TempleRun pic.twitter.com/pcMJhfazR1

The all-time high score on Temple Run is reputedly 31 million.
