MK Esterina Tarteman (Yisrael Beiteinu) strongly condemned the Islamic Wakf’s continued digging on the Temple Mount Tuesday.

“The digging is an archeological crime of historic proportions and endangers the connection between the nation and its land,” Tarteman said.

Tarteman demanded the government, which her party is a part of, take action to remedy the situation. “Our silence is our weakness. In order to avoid a conflict in the present we are giving away our future,” she said.
