Ministers and MKs demand police open Temple Mount to Jews on Jerusalem Day
Ministers and MKs demand police open Temple Mount to Jews on Jerusalem Day, 'Open the Mount and strengthen sovereignty - that is the proper response to the flood of Al-Aqsa incitement.'
Assessment
This demand escalates a long standing tension between religious nationalist ambitions and the security establishment's risk calculations. Opening the Mount on Jerusalem Day would be a dramatic policy shift, potentially igniting broader Palestinian unrest and regional condemnation. The coming days will reveal whether police and political leadership prioritize symbolic sovereignty or public order.
