Momentum continues to build for a temple to be built on the temple mount. What was formerly just the desire of the Jewish religious fringe has now gone mainstream with members of the Knesset, a cabinet minister and a candidate for mayor of Jerusalem openly talking about Jewish sovereignty over the Temple Mount. Also, the preparation for the temple by the Temple Institute continues to pick up speed as they see interest in building the Holy Temple growing at a rapid pace.
'Temple Mount is ours', says Israeli minister
An Israeli government minister has said
that Jews should be allowed to pray on the Temple Mount.
Uri Ariel, who serves as Housing and
Construction Minister for the right-wing Jewish Home party, said this
morning during his visit to the site that: “The Temple Mount is the
holiest place for the Jewish people, and must be open for prayer at
every hour to every Jew.”
Jews have full access to the holy site,
but can be stopped from praying if police decide that such actions
could cause a public disturbance.
In the light of the ongoing peace talks
between Israeli and Palestinian officials, Mr Ariel, 60, also stated
his commitment to Israeli ownership of the site.
“The Temple Mount is ours, and it
cannot be argued about or negotiated.”
Arieh King: No Jew Should Fear Visiting Temple Mount
Arieh King, who heads the list for the
upcoming Jerusalem mayoral elections, responded to the Arab riots
that were taking place this morning on the Temple Mount.
“It is inconceivable that the Israeli
police should try to prevent Jews, on the Eve of Rosh Hashana, from
praying on the Temple Mount. It is incumbent upon them to fight the
Arab rioters, and show them that their incitement and provocation
will not work to disrupt our rights and traditions,” King stated
authoritatively.
“In the next Municipal Council, we
will ensure that Jews will no longer feel the need to cringe in fear
to visit and pray the Jewish People’s holiest site,” he asserted.
