Chairman of the Torah Flag and member of the Knesset Moshe Gafni urgently appealed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and asked him to prevent ministers and members of the Knesset from going up to the Temple Mount.
"Recently members of the Knesset and ministers have been going up to the Temple Mount, just today a large number of elected officials from different factions in the Knesset went up there and the decision is in your hands. I am appealing and asking you to prevent the ascent to the Temple Mount, both on the political issue of the attitude of the countries of the world to allow it, and on the security issue and the existing incitement Due to this mainly in the Muslim world and not only in it."
He further added: "And the main thing – because there is no reason for it. Aliyah does not show sovereignty, on the contrary, it constitutes sacrilege in the place most connected to the Jewish people and most sacred to them."
