Knesset to hold special session on Jewish ties to Temple Mount

The Knesset will tomorrow hold a special session on the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, in the wake of two UNESCO resolutions effectively rejecting non-Muslim ties to the Jerusalem holy site, the Israel National News website reports.

The session, which will be overseen by Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, coincides with the date on which venerated rabbi and physician Moses Maimonides is believed to have visited the Temple Mount almost 900 years ago.
