July 25, 2017 -- 77% of Israelis Disapprove Decision to Remove Metal Detectors


In a recent poll, 77% of Israelis disapproved of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to remove the metal detectors near entrances to the Temple Mount.  Muslims continue to protest and pray outside the mount in the street near the Lions Gate.  Israel still plans to use added security measures and smart cameras to detect weapons and explosives.  Palestinian authorities continue to call for a return to situations existing before the crisis.
