A riot took place this morning (Sunday) at the Western Wall when the women of the Western Wall held a Rosh Chodesh Tevet prayer at the site.
"You are not welcome here, go," MK Itamar Ben Gvir, chairman of Jewish Power, called out to them.
"Do not desecrate the Western Wall, the Western Wall of both secular, traditional or religious, ultra-Orthodox."
The Western Wall Heritage Foundation stated that it regrets the events at the beginning of the month at the Western Wall and calls on the public to keep the Western Wall as a sacred and unifying place.
Tonight, an eighth Hanukkah candle will be lit in the Western Wall plaza to mark unity and love for Israel.

On the other hand, Yochi Rapaport, CEO of the Western Wall Women, said: "We are happy and proud to read the Torah at the Western Wall and make a feminine voice there, on Rosh Chodesh and Hanukkah.
However, the call for violence by the leaders of the ultra-Orthodox public on the eve of Rosh Chodesh once again sharpens the urgent need to implement the outline of the Western Wall.
The Israeli government must approve the outline and bring peace and quiet to the Western Wall. "
The chairman of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, MK Rabbi Gilad Karib (Labor), this morning congratulated the women of the Western Wall.
"We congratulate the traditional and courageous women of the Western Wall who held a prayer this morning as a custom with a reading of the Torah," said the chairman of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee.
We will not allow Netanyahu and Deri's campaign of incitement, which stems from narrow political and personal motives, to set fire to the Western Wall and deepen the polarization of Israeli society and the Jewish people in Israel and the Diaspora. "
