Temple Mount Closed to Rabbis*
by Hana Levi Julian
(IsraelNN.com) A delegation from the Judea and Samaria (Yesha) Rabbinic
Council was blocked from ascending the Temple Mount on Tuesday morning.
Jerusalem police closed the Temple Mount to Jews, telling those who
arrived that an ancient Muslim holiday was discovered to be taking
place, thereby precluding entrance by Jews. They could not name the
holiday when asked, however.
“It seems that the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site, will be the
first thing to be handed to [U.S. President George W.] Bush on a silver
platter,” read a statement to the media by the Movement to Prepare the
Holy Temple.
The statement called for Jews all over the world to fight the possible
transfer of control of the site to the Palestinian Authority in upcoming
negotiations.
"The Jewish nation must oppose in every way the abandonment of the
Temple Mount and Jerusalem to foreigners. We must be faithful and act
with self-sacrifice against the initiatives of our enemies, both without
and within.”
