On Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued to bar Jews from ascending to the Temple Mount, making today the 18th consecutive day that the Mount is off-limits to Jews.
Tom Nissani, director of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, said this morning that, "Today again, after 18 consecutive days, the Temple Mount is closed to Jews. Compare that to the entrance of goods into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing this morning, and we see that failure to immediately reopen the Temple Mount to Jews constitutes giving up on our rights to the Temple Mount."
Nissani added that, "I call on all those who want to ascend to the Mount to arrive there every single day until the situation is rectified and Israel restores freedom of movement and expression of religion to Jews, and retakes control of the Mount, which should come under complete Israeli sovereignty."
