PM raps Arab MK for Temple Mount visit
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chides MK Basel Ghattas for going to the Temple Mount earlier today.
“The Temple Mount has been quiet for two weeks now. We are making every effort to keep it that way, but apparently some are bothered by it,” he tells reporters in the Knesset.
Ghattas didn’t ascend to the holy site to pray, Netanyahu says, accusing him of a planned provocation to increase the tensions.
No lawmaker from any party will be allowed to enter the contested site, the prime minister says, calling on everybody to act “responsibly” during these times.
