Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke out against statements made by MK Hanin Zoabi at the start of the government’s weekly Cabinet meeting.

“We are in the midst of a terror wave that stems from false incitement regarding Temple Mount. I will not tolerate in-house incitement. Take note that MK Hanin Zoabi told Hamas’ official forces that hundreds of thousands of worshippers should visit Temple Mount in order to oppose the free flow of worshippers’ blood, and that lone terrorists should unite to create a true intifada.”

Netanyahu added that “I have instructed that a criminal investigation be opened against Zoabi.”
