"Loose government": The
political system is responding today (Sunday) to disturbances taking place in and around the Temple Mount plaza, when buses of Jews, who were on their way to the Western Wall, were stoned to death by Arab rioters.
MK Bezalel Smutrich tweeted: "Jews should not be afraid and should not be harmed anywhere in the Land of Israel, certainly not in Jerusalem and on the way to the Western Wall, and certainly not on Passover.
Every day that this lax government, which depends on Israel's enemies and raises its head, continues to exist, endangering the State of Israel and the security of the Jews living in it.
We will do everything we can to replace it. "
Jews are not supposed to be afraid and are not supposed to be harmed anywhere in the Land of Israel.
Certainly not in Jerusalem and on the way to the Western Wall and certainly not on Passover.
Every day that this lax government, which depends on Israel's enemies and raises its head, continues to exist endangers the State of Israel and the security of the Jews living in it.
Everything is being done to replace it Ltd. https://t.co/HEfyfhVohA

MK Yoav Kish referred to the arrests that took place on the Temple Mount last Friday, but claimed that the government released the rioters, which led to an escalation today.
The arrests were a response to the mass violence on the Temple Mount.
The problem is that due to a directive, the police police force is forced to release them.
"Unfortunately, we are paying the price for the laxity of the political echelon today."
Last Friday was successful at the operational level and ended in the arrest of about 470 violent Arab rioters.
The arrests were a response to the mass violence on the Temple Mount.
The problem that is due to an order from the police police ranks is forced to release them.
The price of laxity of the political echelon unfortunately we are paying today.

MK Ofir Katz wrote: "Two months ago, the coalition dropped my bill to increase punishment with stone-throwers.
This morning we see terrorists fearless, terror, attempted murder, wounded children, terror.
But why should it interest Bennett? "
Two months ago the coalition dropped my bill to toughen punishment with stone-throwers.
This morning we see terrorists fearless, terror, attempted murder, wounded children, terror.
But why would it interest Bennett?

MK Michal Waldiger tweeted: "She is simply ashamed of the bus drivers, passengers, residents of our capital and all citizens of the State of Israel." Earlier today, she wrote: "Whoever comes to pray, does not come with sticks and stones.
Simplified.
"No matter what the Arab Knesset members say, the violence stems from incitement, hatred and not from the apparent 'occupation', and it continues to grow from the strength of our weakness."
He who comes to pray, does not come with sticks and stones.
Simplified.
And no matter what the Arab MKs say.
Violence stems from shifting, hating rather than the apparent "occupation," and it continues to grow out of our weakness https://t.co/trRZyv245Q

Earlier today, Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai addressed the threats of RAAM in withdrawing from the coalition, following the arrests on the Temple Mount. In an interview with Network B, he said:
We will not be exposed to pressure and the kind of blackmail. "
On the arrests he added: "It is meant to prevent deterioration and killing. Once people are killed on the Temple Mount the Middle East flares up. We need Turkey, Jordan and the Gulf states."
As you may recall, hundreds of young rioters began collecting stones this morning at the Temple Mount plaza, in an attempt to disrupt order and block visiting arteries using stones, irons and makeshift checkpoints.
Police forces acted on the spot to evict them, in order to allow the visits to proceed as usual.
As mentioned, buses of Jews on their way to the Western Wall were stoned to death by Arab rioters.
Five passengers were lightly injured.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
