The Supreme Court asked the State this week to respond within a week to Moshe Yogev\'s petition demanding to be allowed to visit the Temple Mount. Atty. Naftali Wurtzberger, representing Yogev, told the Court this week that the Holy Sites Law stipulates that members of all religions may enter the Mount, and the continuing ban on Jews from doing so is unacceptable. State Atty. Osnat Mandel said that under consideration is the possibility of forbidding Moslems to enter the Mount for as long as Jews may not enter. Jerusalem Police Chief Mickey Levy said that bloodshed may result from such a move. Justice Michael Heshin said, \"There is an uncomfortable feeling that the Arabs are setting policy, that whoever is strongest wins... There is a feeling of helplessness, for the security situation will not improve tomorrow...\"
It was reported today that the Moslem Waqf\'s illegal construction continues non-stop on the Temple Mount, causing irreparable damage to Jewish antiquities there. The Temple Mount, where the two Holy Temples stood and the third one will be built, is the world\'s holiest site in Judaism. Photos published in today\'s papers show a giant electric saw cutting through ancient stones.
