Josiah
Rotenberg, who is on the Board of Governors of the Middle East Forum,
argues that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the United Arab Emirates Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Zayed should meet on the Temple Mount and pray, each according
to their own faith, for reconciliation and peace in the region. It appears bin Zayed would like to visit
Jerusalem to seek peace and fulfill the recent agreements between the two countries. Rotenberg also suggests that they could make
a gesture of good faith and invite Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas
to join in the prayer for a period of peace.
In doing so they would extend an olive branch in hand to Abbas and see
if he is “really ready for true peace.”
Rotenberg’s call for reconciliation now joins others such as Nave Dromi
who advocated normalizing Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount.
