Ben Gvir: I told Likud not to call me to vote with them this week

The chairman of Otzma Yehudit, MK Itamar Ben Gvir, responded to the police decision to close the Temple Mount to Jews.

"Violence and bullying have won. The leaders of the defense establishment are to blame for their policy of containing any harm to Jews that has turned into pogroms in the last day, but more than them, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Homeland Security Minister Amir Ohana who allow the police to fold. Whoever folds on the Temple Mount folds on the entire Land of Israel. I notified the manager of the Likud faction that they shouldn't call me this week for any vote on laws and regulations. I have no reason to vote this week with those who make decisions of giving in."
