Agriculter Minister Uri Ariel, who requested to ascend the Temple Mount this morning together with his cousins Amichai and Rena Ariel, was denied access.
The Ariel family has decided to ascend the Temple mount today, a week and a half after their daughter, Hallel-Yaffa Ariel, was murdered in a terror attack.
According sources close to Ariel, the order preventing his attendance came directly from the Prime Minister's office. The sources add that this is a scandal, as the policy restricting MKs and ministers from going to the Temple Mount continues post-Ramadan.
