Today, one year after then-opposition leader Ariel Sharon\'s dramatic visit to the Temple Mount, he refrained from directly answering a question as to when Jews would again be allowed to visit the site. \"It is the right of every Jew to visit the Temple Mount,\" the Prime Minister told Army Radio today, \"and the day will come when our relations [with the Arabs] will be such that everyone will be able to visit.\"
When asked if he would agree to evacuate Yesha communities in the event of a total ceasefire, the Prime Minister said that he would not reveal his diplomatic plans earlier than necessary, lest the Palestinians relate to them as the opening Israeli position for future negotiations. Arutz-7\'s Ariel Kahane reports that since becoming Prime Minister, Sharon has not repeated his campaign pledge not to dismantle even one Jewish community in Judea and Samaria.
