Joint (Arab) List: We will resume Temple Mount visits

The heads of the Joint (Arab) List faction say they intend to resume the visits to the Temple Mount during Ramadan, which starts the first week of June.

In a letter informing Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein of the intention, the factions says that visiting the flashpoint site is a basic right, Channel 2 reports.

Netanyahu has banned members of the Knesset from ascending the Mount.

The report comes hours after newly sworn-in Likud MK Yehudah Glick tells the Knesset that he “will do all that is in my power to end the injustice that takes place every day at the holiest place in the world, where police officers are under orders to check whether a 90-year-old Jew is, God forbid, moving his lips or not.”

Under the terms of the fragile status quo at the location, which is holy to both Jews and Muslims, non-Muslims can visit but not pray.
