Update on the Temple Mount


Israeli Minister of Public Security and Strategic Affairs  Gilad Erdan (ארדן גלעד) called for Israel to change the “status quo” at the Temple Mount following the recent clashes on the site.  Jordan rejected the idea and sent a letter protesting the minister’s suggestion.   However, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz defended Erdan.  


In other news, US congresswomen Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) may visit the Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif) during an upcoming visit to Israel.  Both Omar and Tlaib are the first Muslim women elected to Congress.
