Claims are made that Iran supported and encouraged recent Temple Mount protests.


Members of the Knesset  have requested an investigation into allegations that Iran was involved in supporting and encouraging the Palestinian protests last month surrounding the Temple Mount.   According to Israel Hayom news site,

Tens of thousands of Temple Mount protesters were given prepackaged meals with notes saying: "With the help of Allah, Palestine will be liberated! Jerusalem is ours."

Palestinian security forces were aware of Iran’s involvement.  However,  President Mahmoud Abbas had ordered a freeze to Palestinian cooperation with Israel, thus preventing any communication of the information to Israeli officials.
