Arab MK slams Temple Mount visit

MK Issawi Frej (Meretz) comes out against Joint (Arab) List MK Basel Ghattas’s Temple Mount visit.

“The mix of politics and religion is dangerous and destructive and we obligated to do everything to prevent it,” Frej says. “It doesn’t matter what side of the political spectrum you are from, it doesn’t matter what your name is, anyone who tries to score political points at religious sites is abusing his position as a public servant.”
