Glick not dropping petition against PM on Temple Mount ban
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLikud MK Yehudah Glick says he still plans on petitioning the High Court of Justice this week against the prime minister’s ban on lawmakers from visiting the Temple Mount.
He is responding to a TV report that says Netanyahu will ease the restrictions on Knesset members’ visits to the holy site in three months.
“It’s unfortunate to think that only my threat to turn to the High Court resulted in the decision announced tonight,” Glick says in a statement.
Glick, a longtime advocate of Jewish prayer at the site, says the three-month delay is “unnecessary” and the ban as a whole is “unjustified.”
“Therefore, I still intend to lodge the petition as planned in order to prevent another delay,” he says.
