On video: Ben Gvir, upon his arrival at the Temple Mount (Roni Knafo)
Netanyahu spoke today (Monday) with the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir, against the background of the latter's intention to go up soon to visit the Temple Mount.
Those around Ben Gvir say that he is still determined to visit the mountain soon, and they claimed that Netanyahu did not ask him to refrain from doing so.
The chairman of the opposition MK Yair Lapid warned today about the planned visit of the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir to the Temple Mount.
"Itamar Ben Gabir must not go up to the Temple Mount, this is a provocation that will lead to violence and endanger human lives," said the chairman of Yesh Atid at the beginning of the faction meeting in the Knesset. "Despite the fact that Bibi is weak, this time he must stop him.
The security establishment thinks it's dangerous, it's no coincidence that ministers avoid it and certainly not the Minister of National Security.
This will be seen as a violation of the status quo and an unnecessary risk."
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said at the meeting of the religious Zionist faction that "Lapid's words should not be considered, he has severed all ties with reality.
He lies and incites and terrorizes the Israeli public.
Going up to the Temple Mount is part of the status quo."
