A lawmaker from the Likud party is holding his office hours outside an entrance to the Temple Mount in protest of an ongoing ban against MKs visiting the holy site in the Old City of Jerusalem, imposed by Netanyahu.
Yehuda Glick, who was shot in 2014 over his campaign for Jewish prayer rights at the Temple Mount says its a one-day action.
“I’m here to protest the fact that the prime minister won’t enable police to allow us to enter the Temple Mount,” Glick told journalists the site.
“I suffer every day I can’t enter the Temple Mount,” he says, as he hold court at one of the gates to the compound alongside a number of bodyguards.
In 2014, a Palestinian terrorist attempted to assassinate Glick, telling Glick, right before pulling the trigger, that he was “an enemy of al-Aqsa,” the Temple Mount mosque.
