Former Jerusalem Mayor MK Nir Barkat calls on the Prime Minister and police to allow Jews to ascend the Temple Mount on Tisha B'Av.
Writing to the Police COmmander Barkat said: "From my experience as Jerusalem Mayor, consideration of Muslim worshipers at their holiday is proper, but this should not be at the expense of police determination and maintaining the accepted status quo for decades.
"Jews must continue to be allowed to go up to the Temple Mount. Utilize your powers and do not succumb to violence."
