The Yisrael Hayom newspaper, which since its established has been a major supporter of Prime Minister Netanyahu, published an article Wednesday scathingly critical of Netanyahu's decision to remove security measures from Temple Mount.
The article's headline was: "Removal of magnetometers: a demonstration of Netanyahu's impotence." The article criticizes Israel's timorous approach to sovereignty on Temple Mount and its continuous caving in to Arab pressure regarding the site. It also sites a Channel 2 poll that 77% of the public believe that removing the magnetometers was an act of capitulation.
