Temple activist's headquarters related to the arrest of the Waqf official who attacked police on the Temple Mount this morning.

"The severe attack by the Waqf man on the Temple Mount this morning against police officers is another step in the numerous attempts by Muslims to escalate at the Temple Mount at any cost, to cause its closure to Jews on the Ninth of Av fast," say headquarters.

Temple headquarters are calling to not allow Muslims to enter the Temple Mount during the fast of Tisha B'Av, to allow free entry of Jews, and also call for opening of the Temple Mount to Jews on Tisha B'Av as well, to facilitate the difficult ascent for those fasting in the heat of the day.

"It's enough for the Muslims in their takeover the other four Muslim holidays over the next week."
