In October 2015, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
prohibited members of the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) from visiting the
Temple Mount. However, this upcoming
week the Knesset
members will be allowed to visit the mount on Tuesday in a kind of one day
trial. This decision has not been received
favorably by everyone. According to the Arutz Sheva
news site, Senior Muslim and Christian clerics in Jerusalem have issued a statement
in which they condemn the decision by the Israeli government arguing that it is
illegal and provocative.
